A period comedy-drama about generational conflict and female emancipation in 1950s Berlin, centered on a rebellious daughter's discovery of rock 'n' roll against her mother's rigid expectations.

At the Berlin dance school "Galant," worlds collide and the struggle between prudishness and emancipation is carried out. The proprietor of the dance school, Caterina Schöllack, has three daughters whom she orders to integrate into this hierarchically structured society. Two of her daughters seem to abide by their mother's wish. Only Monika, the middle daughter, rejects the given path and discovers rock 'n' roll for herself.
