Singing loudly, laughing wildly, dancing crazily and crying quietly, twelve 12-year-old girls declare the stage a place of self-presentation: »Today, we’re studying the fascinating creature, otherwise known as the 12-year-old girl.« In a dynamic mix of film and play, the young girls describe what it’s like to be a teenager, what makes them and their peers different, who they want to be and how they want to change the world.
