Freak City
The 15-year-old Mika is suffering from severe lovesickness. Until he meets Lea - because she is mysterious. And totally deaf. To impress his ex-girlfriend Sandra, Mika goes for the smart ‘handicapped girl’. But Lea has no room for hearing boys in her snail-shell world. Mika’s old friends soon don’t understand him either. Anyone else would give up, but ‘slo-bro’ Mika charges ahead.
A film adaptation of the youth novel by Kathrin Schrocke.
