Directing: Margit Lillak

Synopsis

The filmmaker follows a girl, Roosi, for 10 years from age 8 to 18. She grew up as a 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.
When she was 8, her family moved to an eco-village. Her mother Liina was the frontwoman of the commune. Roosi hated her childhood there. Now, eight years later, Roosi is stepping in the footprints of her mom. She battles the dilemmas of the unpredictable world. Roosi has an over-active mind. She is sensitive to injustice and wasting resources. Her intelligence and vocalness are rare for her age. Her fate throws her yet again to an unknown territory and she has to make big decisions about her future. The arch of the film is her tense relationship with both her parents and finding her place in this world.
