Yelling at gold­fish

The film introduces us into a colorful and screaming world. A bubble gum that gets bigger and brighter. We see a house where headstrong characters live. It`s loud, intense, an aggressive summer. Right in the middle we have Lise, our main protagonist. She wishes to go to the lake, an idyllic place she dreams about, far away from her yelling parents and her annoying neighbor. While taking a bath, trying to escape from everyone, she comes crashing down together with the bathtub a floor lower and ends up in her neighbors bathroom. Not quite shocked, but involved in a stressful discussion with her parents she flees from them to her best friend, Timo, wishing to find peace. Yet, even there, there`s hustle and bustle, neighbors demonstrating for vanilla ice cream and a crazy old woman wanting to set her goldfish free. Luckily, Timo lives in an ice cream van. Why not going together to the lake?
