Swallows

Participated in: MIDPOINT Shorts 2015

Despite Lena´s effort to establish intimate connection with her neglecting parents and self-absorbed best friend, she is left alone for the Big Bad Wolf to catch her.

In the confusing time of adolescence, it happens too often that there is no one with empathy and answers. It almost looks like even adults themselves are equally confused and lost. 

Lena (13) is living with her mother (35) after the divorce of her parents. Lena and her mum are living almost separate lives, only ever crossing paths in their flat. Even though Lena´s mum cares about her daughter, she is absorbed in finding a man on the internet to avoid ending up alone. Living in the same town, Lena doesn´t see her careless father at all, but is hoping he will take her to a fair on Sunday.
