The middle of the world

Seventeen-year-old Phil (Louis Hofmann) is searching for answers. Just as little as he knows about his past, especially his father, his present is equally chaotic: He lives with his mother Glass (Sabine Timoteo), who has yet another new lover, one who doesn’t seem to be as quick to leave as his predecessors. His twin sister Dianne (Ada Philine Stappenbeck) is increasingly retreating into her own world, which she shares with no one. A mysterious ice age prevails between them, one that Tereza (Inka Friedrich) and Pascal (Nina Proll), who also belong to Phil's patchwork family, cannot explain.

At least he can rely on his best friend Kat (Svenja Jung), with whom he can hang out and joke around.

And then it happens: A new student joins the class after the summer break, and Phil loses.
