Synopsis

Deep, funny and provocative story of a girl who escaped a hippy eco-commune as a child and became a conformist cosmopolitan citizen. The filmmaker follows a girl, Roosi, for 10 years from age 8-18. She grew up as the child of an activist. She struggles to cope with climate grief and guilt. She is torn between becoming an activist herself vs finding her own life path through creativity and enjoying the teenage ecstasy. The arc of the film is her tense relationship with both her parents and finding her place in this world.
