Screening as part of our spotlight on Estonian cinema, this deep, funny, and provocative documentary follows a young girl, Roosi, for ten years from age eight to eighteen. Having grown up as the child of an environmental activist, she struggles to cope with climate grief and guilt as she moves from childhood to adulthood. Roosi tries to find her own identity and place in the world, revealing refreshing wisdom about contemporary life through the eyes of a generation coming of age in an increasingly fluid reality.
