In the Ruhrpott, the couple AVA and SASCHA run the FLINT* pub STÖRENFRIEDA. A project of their hearts that serves as a safer space for the community but also as a home for the couple. This closed world enters Ava’s father GUNTER, a former miner who needs a place to stay for a couple of weeks. Based on this loaded constellation, the film depicts the inclusivity and exclusivity of safer spaces and critically examines supposedly feminine and masculine spaces.
