Description
SYNOPSIS:
When you’re 16, you can do a lot during the big break: drink for the low grades you got while defending classmates, bully your secret crush, and make it to grandma’s funeral when you never got to meet her. Or finally, confess to your mom. But will mom listen to you when you’re only 16?
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:
I am concerned with the theme of mutual understanding between parents and children. The situation between mother and daughter is incredibly complex and confusing across generations. Both sides speak their own languages, not hearing or understanding each other.
With her own problems, the mother does not understand her daughter’s feelings and emotions. She relies on her life experience, which contradicts the teenager’s worldview. Instead of listening and understanding her daughter, she gives advice, points out mistakes, and tries to control her life. This leads to the daughter closing up inside, becoming distrustful and unwilling to share her problems.
On the other hand, teenagers also speak their own language. They seek to find their individuality, look for new opportunities, and define their own values. They need to be heard and understood by their peers. In addition, teenagers may fear condemnation or rejection by their friends, which makes them retreat and hide their problems and feelings even from them.
