The sequel to the Slovenian box-office hit Gaja's World (2018) is a modern and dynamic youth romantic comedy with elements of crime fiction, set in today’s urban environment. The 14-year-old girl Gaja, who lives in a separate family, confronts envious classmates, experiences identity theft on a social network, and learns what true friendship means. During holidays, her father takes Gaja and her teenage sister to a seaside camp, but the vacation has not yet begun. With the assistance of her friend and a police inspector, Gaja rescues the owner of a bar from blackmailers, reunites the family, and makes her father happy. The dynamic story, full of humour, emotion and suspense, revolves around common everyday problems, primarily parental separation and the dangers of the internet, and addresses both teenagers and their parents.
