This is not everybody's cup of tea, and it shouldn't be. What we see is not a story (or only a slight one), but a view of the day-to-day life of 19 year old Mimi: what she does, how she reacts on circumstances etcetera. But both the director and actress (Sophie Aignier) do it with such panache (with the director having an astonishing power of control of image) that this film captivated at least this viewer.

The film does have something of the Chantal Akerman style. So this is for the discriminating viewer only.

I saw this picture at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam (the Netherlands), where it could only attract a very small audience.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

Mimmi is a very lonely girl not knowing what to do with her life. On the search for friends and boy-friends she strays lonely in different cities.
