Alice is 16 years old and an introverted girl with a special ability: she hears extraordinarily well. When her mother sends her to a Catholic boarding school for girls, she remains an outsider in a group of self-confident teenage girls. Only Berivan, a Kurdish refugee who seeks asylum in Germany, tries to learn more about Alice. They finally become close friends, but Berivan's relationship to a childhood friend of Alice threatens the girls' friendship.—fippi2000
