Synopsis
Australian premiere
22 Bahnen
From the producers of September 5 and based on the bestselling novel by Caroline Wahl, Mia Maariel Meyer’s 22 Laps is a touching and tender coming-of-age drama about love, loss and the unbreakable bond between two sisters.
Tilda's (Luna Wedler, The Forger, Biohackers) days are strictly regimented: studying mathematics, working at the supermarket, swimming, looking after her little sister Ida (Zoë Baier, also in Sound of Falling) and on bad days, her alcoholic mother too.
Together, they live in a small town that Tilda hates and which her friends have all left, moving to exciting places like Amsterdam or Berlin instead. But Tilda remains to take responsibility for the family, looking after Ida, and earning money, yet only finding peace while swimming laps in the pool.
When Tilda is offered the prospect of a PhD position in Berlin, she begins to dream of freedom and a promising future. However, the moment she begins to believe that everything could turn out well, the situation at home spirals completely out of control.
