Season 1 - Episode Guide

After three months in a psychiatric hospital, Mila returns to a world that devastates her. Between the pressure to perform, loneliness, and the search for love, she struggles with her inner abyss. When a classmate dies before her eyes, Mila begins to stagger – how can one cope in a world that can traumatize you anew at any moment? She doesn't know how to cope – until the mysterious Jannis shows her a way out...

Mila doesn't know if she can trust her perception and if she's really seen Ali again, the mysterious girl she once fell head over heels in love with in the clinic. On the other side of the spectrum is Jannis, who shares a similar view of the world as she does. As a young actor, he's in danger of sinking into the drug quagmire, and when he invites her to escape everyday life, she accepts – until a message changes everything.

A flashback shows Ali's journey through youth psychiatry: Between therapy, yoga, and inner chaos, she seeks stability. Then Mila enters her life—rebellious and contradictory. A fragile closeness develops that reopens old wounds. A visit from Ali's mother on her 18th birthday disrupts everything and threatens to destroy Ali's hard-earned progress. She flees the clinic, fleeing from Mila and herself.

Sophia escapes into romantic fantasies and begins an anonymous online flirtation with her teacher – until reality and fiction blur. Mila oscillates between Jannis and Ali, while a rave reopens old wounds. Drugs, longing, and shame collide. When a secret comes to light at school, all facades begin to crumble – and Mila's reality threatens to shatter completely: A sex tape has surfaced.

Mila's world is shattering: A trauma she thought she had repressed has resurfaced. While she remains silent during the interviews, her brother Samuel struggles with his conscience. Mila takes refuge in pills until Ali contacts her again. Jannis stumbles between grief and rejection, Chiara wrestles with her big dream—and Basti with his crumbling masculinity and his own failure.

Jannis, in an emotional state of emergency, doesn't know what to do with himself, but then a realization about his online flirt changes everything. Mila increasingly seeks numbness because she can't handle her complicated feelings – and crosses a dangerous line with Sophia. Chiara pushes herself to the limit for her dream of cosmetic surgery, and Basti reveals his darkest side, revealing deep cracks in his facade.

Carnival in Cologne: A bubbling cauldron of glitter, loss of control, and escapism culminates in an intense night that changes everything. On November 11, the group staggers through a day of intoxication, conflict, and disappointment. Between toxic love, repressed feelings, and escalating emotions, they reach their limits. But between panic attacks and carnival hits, moments of closeness and truth emerge.

Her friends also struggle with guilt, identity, and loss, searching for solutions: Ali loses her footing, and Leyla believes she's found true love.
