She enjoys the Berlin summer with her best friend Rosa, until a racist attack suddenly tears her out of her carefree everyday life. After that, nothing is the way it used to be: security gives way to mistrust and Nico withdraws. Plagued by flashbacks of the horrific act, she decides never to be a victim again and takes training with karate world champion Andy. Is this the way out of her anger and the chance to regain her old self-confidence?
