Teen Angst

What is it like to grow up in times of war? In a documentary film they developed themselves, nine young Ukrainian women offer a unique insight into their lives—into everyday life in a state of emergency. In the documentary, nine Ukrainian teenagers tell their stories. Some of the young women have fled to other countries, while others remain in Ukraine, but all of them become co-authors of their own lives: How much is left for oneself when fear for family and fellow human beings, when death, separation, and trauma are omnipresent?
