Wonderful cinematography and film language that brings the spectator very close to the protagonists and right into their struggles. Great performance by the main actress and cute metaphor with her little pet caterpillars. Pleasantly light coming-of-age story.

Perfectly written that makes us feel our youth , first loves, broken hearths. The performance of the leading actress is striking. The different cultures and their affections in Berlin is really well described in the school.

Excellent film that is not so much a coming-of-age story as a coming-out-to-yourself story. Charmingly told with just enough working class grit and multiculturalism to give it a level of veracity rarely seen in this kind of film. Highly recommended.
