A film by Julia Langhof
Duration: 105 minutes, 2017, German with English subtitles

The high school graduate Karl lives with his parents and twin sister Anna in a wealthy Berlin district. Father Michael is an architect, mother Krista used to be a singer. The two are modern and liberal, they only want the best for their children. But while Anna is diligently preparing for her final exams and even has precise plans for the time afterwards, Karl devotes his time above all to his successful blog "The Language of Many Others". Everything else seems useless and trivial to him. He behaves rebelliously at school, and his relationship with his father is extremely tense because Karl also posts pictures of his family on his blog. Only when Karl falls in love with his classmate Doro does he seem to gain a new perspective on life. But Doro does not want to get involved in a steady relationship with him, and the disappointed teenager starts a risky experiment: From now on, the readers of his blog should decide how he should live and what he should do.
