Motivation: “Through a sensitive look, this film captures the fragile transition from childhood to adulthood, between who a girl is and what the world expects her to be.
Filmed from the girls’ point of view, the camera shows their world with deep gentle feeling and humanity. The film smoothly blends fiction and documentary, giving the story a true sense of authenticity.”
