Tigermilk (2018) 16

Germany | 2018 | 106 min.

Nini is a German girl and Jameelah an Iraqi girl with a life-long desire to become German. They are inseparable and like to rebel more or less, especially during breaks between lessons when mixing a little alcoholic cocktail they call Tiger Milk. It’s a stressful time: the decision on Jameelah's naturalization application is coming and they are also hoping for "it" to happen and they practice for “the main event” by observing the hookers who are streetwalking. But when they witness a murder, everything comes to a stop - their plans, their future, their lives.
