ADULT CHILD (2021)
66 mins Self-Documentary
This is a self-portrait about the journey of an immature adult, dealing with one of the most difficult times in her life.
At the outbreak of the pandemic, I packed my stuff and went back to my country, to 14 days of self-isolation in my father's hometown. At first, I just wanted to document this strange experience with my digital camera, as I thought the pandemic was the worst thing that could happen to me in 2020. However, there was something much worse and more challenging to come.
It was a time that pushed me to another level. I'd always been protected by my parents, and by my family. Now all that changed, slowly and gradually. Time just kept going by, and I lost and gained at the same time...
