About this movie

The drug-addicted SIN tries once again to withdrawal from heroin and therefore wants to get away from the cold, gray city of Frankfurt /M to a Greek island. The young woman gets the money for the flights by selling blank prescriptions which she stole in the doctor's office of her father. Sin separates from her boyfriend LEON and tries to win her friend and young prostitute ILLY for the travel, who was dropped out by her her pimp MESUTH. However, the two girls do not come too far. Looking for Illy's passport they strand on a permanent campsite near the Frankfurt airport. In the caravan of Illy ́s alcoholic mother reveals all the misery of addiction and hopelessness. The film shows a realistic, unsparing look at the endless cycle of drugs, alcohol and drug-related crime, which Sin wants to escape with her last strength, but she can manage it only by breaking off consistently all bridges behind her. The longing to travel to sunny Greece ends for the physically entirely leached Sin once again only in the rehab.
