Luna (20) and Nela (20) go on a seaside trip to celebrate their first anniversary. Instead of a blissful summer holiday, their relationship faces challenges - fears, jealousy, and disagreements that expose both the fragility and the complexity of their love.

We live in a predominantly male world, and maybe the most important task women have is creating their own identity. We are guided through the path of eight decades of life by eight female characters, starting from the youngest one who is at the age of five, to the oldest one at the age of 85. Tila is bravely pedalling towards growing up. Jana can set a great example for both younger and older people around her. Tina waits for her sudden growing-up milestone with excitement. Ana Marija is at the end of her 20s with a dash of fear... Eight authors directed a documentary omnibus which offers us an opportunity to observe the creation of these identities and surpassing the obstacles laid ahead of a little girl, a teenager, a woman, a mother, a non-mother and a grandmother.

In a flurry of social anxiety, entertainment and general unpredictability, we get an idea of what it is like to experience a documentary film festival, and what stays with us when it is all over.

Zimka and Nazmija are two sisters from a Roma family growing up in Zagreb. Zimka is 17, which makes her older than Nazmija, but she does not act her age. Their relationship is marked by the clash of their characters, but also the strength of their sisterly bond. Before starting high school, together they spend the summer dancing, singing and wandering around the parks and streets of Zagreb. Zimka’s departure to live in a student residence and her relationship with Tin put a new strain on the sisters relationship. The film follows the two sisters during a turbulent time in their lives, raising the question of whether everyone has the right to a carefree adolescence or is that a special privilege.

Against the backdrop of the thriving Croatian ballroom scene, Teo - a young trans man searching for his place, finds support and inspiration in Valentina, a seasoned voguer and veteran of the scene.
