I searched RTE Player, but it does not seem to be there anymore.

Download link for 1080p German VoiceOver version with external German SDH subtitles: [Code] I downloaded the video with JDownloader2. Yt-dlp will download it too, but I only used it to get the subtitles.

More detailed plot (Copied and pasted from IMDB site.)

Lucy is an unruly, salt-of-the-earth girl living in Dublin city centre. Zed is a mysterious, dark-skinned girl who shows up in Lucy's garden full of crazy stories and unpredictable behaviour. Eventually, Zed tells Lucy her secret: Zed has run away from a government facility where she was being experimented on in order to give her superpowers. It's worked too; Zed seems able to move things with only the power of her mind. Lucy agrees to hide Zed in her house, keeping it a secret from her mother, but this proves difficult. Zed leaves a trail of chaos in her wake, leaving Lucy exasperated. And as government officials close in on Zed's location, things spin out of control. The truth finally comes out: Zed (full name, Zedaya) has actually run away from a direct-provision facility she lives in with her parents. She has no super-powers; it was just a magic trick, Although both girls must give up the comforting fantasy they've constructed to help them cope, their friendship helps them face the harsh realities of life together.
