GIRLS' STORIES
POLISH TITLE: DZIEWCZYŃSKIE HISTORIE
Girls' stories, teenage days. Seemingly nothing happens, and so much changes. Jagoda and Zuzia are friends from the neighborhood. They meet at the local square. Sometimes they go for ice cream or to the playground. And they always have a lot to talk about. Being a girl is a special experience, and they are just entering puberty. Biology, hormones, pimples, first rebellion, first love. The first period - when will it come? Will there be anything else? Adults can't always give support or answers. And the girls see more and more. School absurdities, unwanted rules, dilemmas to be solved. Jagoda and Zuzia are great commentators: contradictory, ironic, independent, scared. With a great appetite for life! They introduce us to the ‚girlish’ world that every woman remembers and any boy, who watches the film will finally be able to discover.

Privately a mum of two boys, with invariably girlish energy.
