Ninja Motherf*cking Destruction
At 18, Leonie and Marlene are best friends, convinced that nothing in the world can tear them apart. But then Leonie falls in love with Naomi, and as she immerses herself in her first great love, she drifts further away from Marlene. However, Leonie increasingly finds the relationship with Naomi overwhelming, and only after their breakup does she realize how much she has isolated herself. She leaves Berlin and starts training as a gardener in Brandenburg, hoping to sort out her feelings and the world around her. But the past years have left their mark on everyone. (Letterboxd)
