Weil ich schöner bin

Deutschland 2010-2012 Spielfilm

Summary

Cause I have the Looks

13-year-old Charo seems like a typical Berlin teenager. She's a student surrounded by good friends and has her eye on the coolest guy in school. But no one knows that Charo has been living in Germany illegally for years, not even her best friend Laura. Problems start to arise when Charo's mother is caught by the police and wants to take Charo back to Columbia.

Charo now needs to trust Laura with her secret because it's the only way she’ll be able to fight for her future in Germany. Puberty, trust, precarious living conditions and deceit: Based on a true story, "Cause I have the Looks" intertwines a vibrant coming-of-age story with the exceptional situation of illegal immigration.
