"On Saturday, the girls go into the forest and blow things up"

A first love between holding on and destroying, extinction and survival

There is a fire. In the woods and on the screens. 15-year-old Era lives with her mother on the edge of the forest and tries to counter the creeping process of destruction by documenting the extinction of the birds. In one stream, she observes her classmate Maja and her sister Merle blowing up hard drives in the neighboring clearing. Maja is the daughter of two momfluencers who is trying to erase the memories of a public childhood. While Era keeps notebooks, makes drawings and tries to organize all the knowledge she has access to, Maja forms a destructive counterforce. Nevertheless, Era and Maja are connected in their search for intimacy and analog stimuli. While the turtle dove dies out, the two fall in love. But not only the birds are threatened: when a large-scale fire destroys the forest, the girls also lose a significant part of their habitat.

Confident and clever, Sironic convinces with a new literary voice.
