Hot Girl Summer
Teenage best friends Inken, Vicky and Lena, make a pact to quickly fix their major problem - none of them have ever had an orgasm! With only a few weeks until the summer is over, Inken tries desperately to help her aloof and narcissistic boyfriend Tim find her G-spot, while leaving her childhood friend Flin desperately in the friend-zone. Shy and quiet Lena tries in vain to work up the courage to ask out her crush while hiding a shocking secret. Vicky, the most sexually adventurous of the bunch, gets herself into quite a predicament involving a yeast infection and a very surprising love interest. As the girls navigate the overblown and byzantine travails of modern high school life, they find that climaxing might not actually be the end-all it's cracked up to be. A contemporary retelling of the 2001 cult film, “Madchen, Madchen,” Hot Girl Summer is an “engagingly acted, feminist and empowering” (Kino-Zeit) roller coaster ride into adulthood.

- "Martina Plura, whose twin sister Monika did the camera work, succeeds in the feat of convincingly transferring the 2001 cult film to the realities of Generation Z. Her version of Mädchen Mädchen comes across as fresh, feminist and empowering, supported by songs like "Girls Just Wanna Have Sex" by Mazie and "Boss Bitch" by Doja Cat. "
- "An engagingly acted and witty coming-of-age comedy."
- "The remake of the early 2000s classic "Mädchen Mädchen" is a sincere plea for female solidarity, hilarious at its best, features wonderfully complex characters, and, as a German youth comedy with a sex theme, is just as unprudished as it needs to be to be authentic. This is one of the surprises of the cinema year."
