SYNOPSIS
16-year old Lukas has to look after his drowsy grandpa for the weekend. His seemingly boring weekend takes an unexpected turn, when during a smoke on the balcony, he encounters the 9-year old neighbor Luzi.
With her cheeky attitude she challenges the boy quite a bit and uses all of her persuasive powers to get him to play with her.
Captured by Luzi’s lively energy and impulsiveness, Lukas completely forgets about his sleeping grandpa and discovers Luzi’s talking parrot instead.
It takes him some time to see behind the act that the bubby girl puts up for him and to realize the strength and independency Luzi actually needs to cope with her everyday life. As the weekend slowly comes to an end, Lukas decides to offer Luzi a glimpse behind his very own façade.
