Teen Angst
Inga Pylypchuk
Nine young Ukrainian women document their everyday lives – both at home and in exile – on their smartphones, lives shaped by Russia’s war of aggression. The voices of the film’s co-authors are direct, tender and raw with anger. They speak of fear, separation, waiting, hope, but also of resilience and determination. This is a personal and deeply authentic story of growing up under extraordinary circumstances and seeking security in a world that has been torn apart.
In cooperation with DOXS RUHR.
