East Berlin, 1989. Just before her final exams 17 year-old Suzie (Marlene Burow) is expelled from school and is forced to work in a factory. When a chance photo of her ends up on the cover of SIBYLLE, the ‘Vogue’ of the East, it thrusts her into the glamourous fashion world and gives her an opportunity to flee from socialist factory life. Suzie dives into the dazzling underground subculture where the homosexual Rudi (Sabin Tambrea) and his friends invent and create their very own fantastic and passionate fashion designs.

When she falls in love with the talented and rebellious photographer Coyote (David Schütter), her life ultimately changes. On his “Indian” motorbike, they speed towards the sea and Suzie lives the freedom she had always dreamed of. But everything comes with a price. Now Suzie has to decide how far she will go to live her dream.
