She is the blonde poison of the backyards, the femme fatale of the Wedding side street. Coolness hangs heavy on her eyelids. It could be mistaken for boredom - if it weren't for her tough tone of voice and her willingness to ice-coldly clear her opponents out of the way. One of her license-free joyrides results in an accident. A court orders her to do community service in a shared flat for the disabled, which she finds an imposition. But the "normalos" she lives with aren't that great either, and it seems as if Kroko finds something in the "spastics" that she lacks in her everyday life.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Berlin's Wedding district before gentrification polished its edges; the location scouting was essentially just 'open the door.'
Sylke Enders cast actors with disabilities without making their conditions the plot — radical for 2003 German cinema, still rare now.
