Plot

Klara, Mina, and Tanutscha, all 15 years old, grew up and still live with their mothers in Berlin-Kreuzberg. They are best friends and have known each other since they were children. They share similar interests, including parties, boys, and the outdoor swimming pool. They spend much of their time at the outdoor swimming pool called "Prinzenbad" in Kreuzberg, which inspired the name of the film. The three start out inseparable, but through personal challenges, the girls begin to go their own ways. Klara has had some issues with the law and has been involved with men much too old for her. Mina begins to spend more time with her boyfriend and less time doing other things in her life and Tanutscha struggles with stricter parents than the other two, and having more freedom is a primary concern of hers.^[2]
