JONJA

***

13-year-old Jonja does not feel good at home anymore, especially since her mother has a new boyfriend. When a well-intentioned birthday suprise goes wrong Jonja has had enough. She decides to go on vacation with her best friend Paul and his well-off familiy - without telling her mother. The summer days by the lake are fun-filled and exciting. Jonja falls in love for the first time and her friendship with Paul intensifies. But Paul and his family do not know that Jonja is a runaway. When her lie is exposed, she and Paul separate in tears and recriminations. It is up to Jonja to fix the bond with her mother and save her friendship with Paul.
