Plot
In the heart of this family drama, we delve into the chaotic world of Stevie, a 15-year-old girl whose unconventional parents offer nothing close to a stable environment. Caught in the ceaseless whirl of role reversal between child and parent, Stevie's existence is a whirlwind of inconsistency, a chaotic dance she ascribes to her parents' extravagant lifestyle.
A sudden decision to relocate their bohemian family to a serene German countryside town offers Stevie a glimmer of hope for a semblance of normality. With quiet optimism, she presents herself to the unsuspecting townsfolk as the offspring of a revered diplomat, silently praying for the stability her heart yearns for.
Regrettably, her dreams are swiftly shattered as her parents persist in fuelling their opulent lifestyle through nefarious means. As their home becomes a revolving door for suspicious characters and shadowy misfits, Stevie gradually distances herself from her family's unsteady orbit, bravely embarking on her unique journey through life. This compelling narrative of a young girl's quest for stability amidst familial chaos is a testament to resilience and the power of self-determination.
