What is it like to be a girl in today’s world? Six teenage girls in six countries — South Korea, Germany, Tanzania, the United Kingdom, Serbia, and Chile — long for freedom, want to fall in love, and wish to be in control of their own bodies.
In complex situations, they make their own choices, cope with the crises of puberty, and boldly stand against restrictions, brutal traditions, societal pressures, beauty standards, and stereotypes. They are young and amazing in spite of it all.
The film is in English, Spanish, German, Serbian, and Korean with subtitles in Latvian and English.
