A little hate on the mobile phone every day.
A political coming-of-age story
Everyone at school knows Finn and Lennard because of the funny videos they post on their social media channel. The two meticulously check the number of clicks, likes, and followers and dream of becoming famous.
Everything is going great until they make a deal with Sam, a student whose parents are from Angola. The plan to push each other and increase their reach works immediately – but in a completely different way than Finn expected: All of a sudden, a shitstorm hits his account. Hate comments instead of laughing emojis. All because he liked Sam’s posts.
At the same time, Finn’s father, a teacher at his son’s school, notices how racist, anti-democratic comments are becoming socially acceptable. Not only in the class chat, but also in the town where a right-wing populist candidate is currently running for office. When he complains about the situation in an incendiary letter, he is suddenly pilloried himself. And with him Finn…
Jörg Isermeyer tells the gripping coming-of-age story of a teenager whose analogue and digital world is turned upside down, forcing him to take a stand and make a stand: for solidarity, friendship and the courage to resist.
