Homeshoppers' Paradise

Punk meets teleshopping.
Germany:
Lisa, a rebellious Black punk, lives with her gang in a trailer park.
There, she has found her family. They are united by the conviction that we live in a capitalist world in which exploitation and profit maximisation are the root cause of all evil. However, this fixed ideology soon becomes a stumbling block for Lisa.
When it is announced that the trailer park is to be sold, she has to become proactive to keep a long-kept secret and, behind the backs of the others, takes a job that is emblematic of capitalist consumer society: Lisa becomes a presenter at the television home shopping station HSP.
The new job confronts her with her hated father Harry, a former pop singer, who Lisa has to present alongside of from now on. Harry is also a presenter at HSP and since he and Lisa haven’t spoken to each other in a long time, he is not particularly pleased about her appearance.
The risk-taking African-American manager William, who is to optimise HSP, recognises the potential of the explosive duo and takes Lisa on. But his interest in her is not only professional and so complications are inevitable. When the other punks find out about Lisa's double game, the clique's existence is put to a test.
Old wounds are torn open and Lisa is at risk to lose everything that is important to her.
