Early adolescence is a fundamental moment in every person’s life – a time of great transformation, full of emotions and new discoveries, but also a moment when innocence must be lost. Home recordings made by a 13-year-old girl lead the filmmaker to relive the summer when she was the same age – the moment when she first became aware of the gaze of others, which irreversibly changed the way she perceived herself and the world around her. Through voice-over narration, the author shares her personal testimony.
