Marusya is 16 and, like many Russian teenagers, is determined to end her life. Then she meets her soulmate in another millennial, Kimi. They spend a decade filming the euphoria and anxiety, the happiness and misery of their youth, muzzled by a violent and autocratic regime in the midst of a “depressed Russia”. This film is a cry from the heart, a tribute to an entire silenced generation.

In an age of body anxiety, filmmaker Afsaneh Salari embeds herself in the offices of Iranian plastic surgeons to interview their clients with humour and empathy.

Syrian teen Hazim literally carries his wounded friend Saaed to Europe, where they become caretakers for German teen Marius—and during ten years, they all gradually learn the meaning of family, the diversity of abilities, and the complexities of who carries whom.

As her adolescence gives way to the obligations of motherhood, troubled Gemma matures in Motherwell, her Scottish hometown, heavily dependent on the steel industry. Unfortunately for her, her hedonistic way of understanding the world does not fit in with the philosophy of the rest of the villagers, so trouble soon follows.

White men in their 40s reason about life and reveal how difficult it can be to see the privileged seat you are in. Here, satire and seriousness are mixed when documentary sound material meets fictional animated characters.

Like everyone else Mathilda is born round. Unlike everyone else she can't/won't become quadratic. Once she grows up, she tries to adapt to the quadratic standards. But without success. One day at her boring work she finally meets Alex. He is just like she is... round.
