At 15 years Charleen thinks growing up is complicated and she’s fed up. In her view, her family is confused and classmates are boring, except for her best friend, Isa. Music is her only interest, but her great idols are deceased Kurt Cobain and Jimmy Hendrix. In her spare time, Charleen is doing an internship at a funeral parlour. On an especially melodramatic day she enters the bath with a hair dryer, staging a suicide, but has an accident when trying to answer the phone. And from then on, Charleen begins to see life differently.
