phönix

After the death of her boyfriend, a young woman has to overcome her own insecurity and the resulting addiction. She realizes that she has to accept herself if she wants to stay permanently clean and lead a healthy life.
The young woman Moreen is addicted to heroin and has just got clean. For one last time, she returns to the
apartment of her boyfriend Felix, who died of an overdose. All she really wants to do is salvage an old
family heirloom, but Felix sneaks back into her mind and confronts her with her fragile core. And finally, only her equally addicted buddy Joni agrees to help Moreen with the inherited chest of drawers. So Moreen fights not only against Felix's ghostly presence in the apartment, but also against her own addiction. Moreen has to realize that she has to accept herself, if she wants to stay permanently clean.
