A film about three teenagers - Klara, Mina and Tanutscha - from the Berlin district of Kreuzberg. The trio have known each other since Kindergarten and have plenty in common. The three 15-year-olds are the best of friends; they are spending the summer at Prinzenbad, a large open-air swimming pool at the heart of the district where they live. They're feeling pretty grown up, and are convinced they've now left their childhood behind.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Prinzenbad is Berlin's oldest public pool, built 1951 in a working-class district that became synonymous with Turkish-German identity and hip-hop culture.
Blümner spent three summers earning the girls' trust; her patience explains why they flirt, fight, and fail so unguardedly on camera.
