One afternoon among best friends: Young Viennese women Yesmin, Nati, and Bella put on REM's "Losing My Religion" and strike sexy TikTok poses - wrapped in the hijabs of Yesmin's devoutly religious mother. The video goes viral and becomes a hit. All hell breaks loose in the social media opinion universe. Was it a deliberately successful provocation or a religious affront? The three girls enjoy rapid fame, and Yesmin's father, a resourceful agent, arranges for them to perform as a religious a cappella trio at Kurdish family celebrations. Nati and Bella love their new image in the spotlight. Only Yesmin, the only devout Muslim, is not keen on the public identity games. Her presence on social media also requires her to justify to strangers how she practices her religion. Nati and Bella don't take it so seriously, but the reactions to her video leave their mark on Yesmin. When is religion a private matter? And how important is the headscarf really to her? The domestic harmony is increasingly strained. And the friendship between the three girls is hanging more and more in the balance.
