Summer holidays are coming to an end, and 13-year-old Jonja hasn't been on any outing yet. When her best friend invites her on a family trip, the teen doesn't hesitate for a second. Her mother, however, knows nothing about it…

Recently, Jonja has preferred to spend time outside. When she does stay in her house, she has to look after her younger brother. Besides, something has been on her mum's mind a lot lately, and her new boyfriend is about to move in with them. There's nothing to do but forget about everything and head off on a trip with Jonja’s best friend Paul! A carefree break is in full swing – there is no end to dinners, rambling, and swimming in the lake together. On top of that, the first butterflies begin to appear in her belly. Unfortunately, running away from her mum sooner or later will come to light, and the relationship with Paul will be called into question. And Jonja will not forget this summer holiday for many reasons.
