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.
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. Her intelligence and vocalness are rare for her age, expressing raw truths for the whole Z generation. We see the archetypal conflict in a mother and daughter relationship, what makes it unusual is her special heritage, I have the archival footage from the past – that helps us understand the present future life choices of the protagonist. Moving through the bottleneck of adolescence the film is full of humor and irony. Comic situations between adolescence
and parents. The arch of the film is her tense relationship with both her parents andfinding her place in this world.
