Screening time  
31.03. / Friday, 17:00 - 19:00 Theatre 5  

Through moments in the lives of three groups of girls, images gleaned from the web and live streams of young women around the world, Bloom delves into the world of today's teenage girls. The process of inventing their own bodies and identity is being recorded on the move by their smartphones and shared with their peers from other parts of the networked world. We delicately observe a hyper-connected but lonely generation inhabited by great lucidity, an inner struggle with self-image obsession, and a need for self-affirmation in the face of a complex sense of alienation. This intimate portrait of adolescence is made with full comprehension of experiencing and self-presentation in a generation growing up on the brink of the real and virtual worlds.
