Frank Oceans Album "Blonde" ist für Sophie Passmann ein Souvenir aus einer Zeit, in der nichts gut war. Und doch ist es das Album ihres Lebens. Es erschien in dem Sommer, in dem sie in Arztpraxen saß, mal ominöse, mal seriöse Pillen nahm, sich hektisch verliebte und alles in allem brachial lebte. Song für Song seziert sie das Album und damit ihre Gefühle. Sophie Passmann zeigt, wie eng Musik mit dem verknüpft ist, was man so Leben nennt.
