GIRLS ON TOP
56
Girls on Top is a romantic, coming-of-age comedy. On her eighteenth birthday, Inken and her
friends, Victoria and Lena, watch a film from the seventies about hippie women talking about
their liberation and their enormous sexual satisfaction. From that moment on, the three girls
are on a mission. They are convinced that their first orgasm will bring them success with their
volleyball team, make them pass their final exams and lead them to the sunny side of life. To
achieve all that, Inken has to get rid of her macho boyfriend, Victoria has to realize that it’s
quality instead of quantity that matters, and shy Lena has to prepare herself to lose her
virginity. In the end, the three girls learn to trust their own feelings instead of following forced
goals and they all find true love.
