A high school student decides on a whim to make a movie over her summer break and enlists the help of her friends. Old friendships are tested, new friendships are made, and secrets and crushes are revealed as the group makes their film. A precious celebration of adolescence and the raw joy of cinema, gently paced and beautifully shot. Winner of the 2023 Pia Film Festival Grand-Prix.
Een middelbare scholier besluit tijdens de zomervakantie ineens om een film te maken en schakelt daarvoor de hulp van haar vrienden in. Tijdens het maken van de film worden oude vriendschappen op de proef gesteld, geheimen en verliefdheden onthuld, en nieuwe vriendschappen komen tot bloei. Een lieve, rustige en mooi gefilmde viering van de puberteit en het rauwe plezier van cinema. Winnaar van de Grand Prix op het Pia Film Festival 2023.
