Sin & Illy

Sin & Illy Still Alive

The drug-addict Sin tries once again to get clean from heroin and wants to escape from the cold, gray city of Frankfurt to a Greek island. She gets the money for the flights by selling blank prescriptions which she stole from her father's doctor's office. Sin breaks up with her boyfriend Leon and tries to convince her friend, the young prostitute Illy, to go with her. However, the two girls don't get very far. Looking for Illy's passport, they get stranded at a permanent campsite near the Frankfurt airport. All of the miseries of addiction and hopelessness are revealed in Illy's mother's caravan.

The film shows a realistic, unsparing look at the endless cycle of drugs, alcohol and drug-related crime. Sin tries to escape this vicious cycle but can only manage it by consistently burning all bridges behind herself.
