Be my Star
Mein Stern
Valeska Grisebach
Fourteen year-old Nicole lives with her sister and mother in a residential tower in Berlin, and is convinced that something important is going to happen to her. Her wish comes true when she meets Christopher, a member of the local gang. While Nicole's mother works the night shift, the two adolescents play at husband and wife in the empty apartment. They try to give form to their love by observing adult relationships, but things are not as simple as they seem.
