SYNOPSIS

16-year-old Mille lives in a youth hostel and has a promising future as a wrestler. But she is kept down by her boyfriend, the pot-smoking Kenny, and her conscientious caring for her mother. When a boy named Sami moves into the hostel it evolves into a triangle drama in which Mille is faced with existential choices about her life.
