Fourteen-year-old Leonie is a successful teen influencer who lives on the outskirts of Berlin. Millions of followers adore her and companies shower her with gifts. When Leonie’s parents recognise the enormous economic potential of their daughter’s online activities, they quickly take over her management. They just want Leonie to have a better life than they had, but the pressure to produce content puts Leonie in unexpectedly difficult situations.
