The film focuses on the social mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion and deals with the disorientation of young girls. 15-year-old Nike is torn between her desire to belong to her friend Jess’ cool clique and her individual autonomy, which, to her, is represented by her new friend Lea. When she takes Lea along to a party, she does not know how to react to the competing friends – resulting in her not reacting at all.
