Three Viennese teenage girls throw on hijabs and film their playback performance of "Losing My Religion" with their cell phones. Thousands of clicks on YouTube make them famous overnight in the Muslim community. Yesmin, who is the only one of the friends who is Kurdish herself, begins to distance herself more and more from her culture. Nati and Bella, on the other hand, seem fascinated by the world that is foreign to them. When the girls meet two young Kurdish patriots, the situation threatens to escalate. A film about young people between social media and self-discovery - a story of rebels.

Kurdwin Ayub's fictional feature debut is refreshingly different, with a lot of sympathy for its protagonists.
