Straight outta Nordstadt

Melli (19) is getting out of juvenile hall after a good 5 months. She promised herself: no more trouble. But first she realizes that someone specific is not there to pick her up – her boyfriend Yuri, the one being responsible for all that trouble. He’s not even answering her calls. Fortunately her girls are prepared to cheer her up – with sparkling wine in heaps and a surprising performance from a stripper. But her friends already know that Yuri has a new girlfriend. They try to hide the bad news – obviously. The situation escalates. NORDSTADT, WAS LOS? is the thesis Film of director Mo Jäger at the academy of Media Arts in Cologne (KHM) and the Bachelor-thesis film of DoP Marcus Lauterbach at the Filmuni Babelsberg. Butterfilm acted as executive producer. The film was funded by the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW.
