Mephobia
Mika Gustafson
A group of girls aged 6 - 8 wander around in the neighbourhood throwing trash around. A group of older girls is just as frustrated, but their restlessness expresses itself in other ways and limits are constantly tested. A film where hubris and contempt go hand in hand. Who owns the gaze and who do we give cinematic permission to tell which story?
