Synopsis:
The story of two girls on different continents who bond through social media and share a passion for gymnastics. Whitney Bjerken from the US state of Georgia is a world-famous YouTuber and gifted singer-songwriter. Sensitive Yara from Neumünster in northern Germany is her biggest fan. As they both navigate the exciting world of social media, they begin to figure out who they are and what they’re looking for in life.
Comments:
"Looking beneath the surface in a respectful manner, this film familiarizes us with two lives that — geographically, at least — could not be further apart. Both protagonists succeed in breaking free of the expectations placed on them in a teenage world defined by followers and clicks. They get to know their bodies, fears, needs, and limits and mold these experiences into a new lifestyle. In their bold search for who they really are, the two girls Yara and Whitney develop a tremendous inner strength that guides us through this so tender and important coming-of-age documentary.
Honorable mention thus goes to the documentary 'One in a Million' by Joya Thome." (Jury statement Munich CFF 2022)
