About a Girl

The second film of the series "Unexpected Strokes of Fate" is about Charleen, who isn’t quite 16 yet,  which has survived a suicide attempt and is now trying to find her peace. But it’s not that easy. Her father Jeff has been kicked out by her mother Sabine, who is now living with Charleen’s biology teacher, of all people. Charleen is also arguing with her friend Isa. While at her chaotic psychotherapist’s office, Charleen meets Linus, the unpopular nerd from her class. Linus and Charleen become closer. In his first film for the big screen ABOUT A GIRL, Mark Monheim tells a slightly ironic coming-of-age story about a journey from helplessness to finding joy in life.

Director: Mark Monheim, colour, 105 Min., 2013/14
