Sometimes eleven-year-old Lotta Petermann (Meggy Hussong) feels sorry for herself. Her mum, Sabine (Laura Tonke), loves to cook her unique version of Ayurveda cuisine and as if that was not bad enough, she works at the meditation studio run by Heiner Krishna (Milan Peschel) as well. Lotta’s dad, Rainer (Oliver Mommsen), is usually grouchy and her two stupid brothers (Lenny and Marlow Kullmann) annoy her all day long.

Fortunately Lotta has her best friend Cheyenne (Yola Streese), who makes everything only half as bad! Together the two girls and their nerdy classmate Paul (Levi Kazmaier) have their own gang: the Wild Rabbits. And if there’s one thing they can’t stand it’s their snobbish classmate Berenike (Laila Ziegler) and her Glamour Girls. What really sucks is that Berenike is throwing a big party, and has invited everybody – everybody except Lotta and Cheyenne.

The two friends are not taking that lying down, so they come up with plan after plan to get themselves in. But none works, not even the great plan to bring along famous singer Marlon (Lukas Rieger). It actually ends in the two friends having a serious fall out.

But Lotta would not be Lotta if she couldn’t manage to save her friendship with Cheyenne realizing what true friendship really means.

With a hilarious tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, MY LIFE AS LOTTA presents the mad chaos in Lotta’s daily life, as based on the popular bestselling children’s book series of the same title by author Alice Pantermüller and illustrator Daniela Kohl, published by Arena Publishing.
