THE INSIDES OF OUR LIVES
A selection from thousands of hours of found footage – mostly 8mm material from the sixties and seventies – tells the coming-of-age story of two girls growing up along a border in Europe, as the border gradually drives them apart. Combining fiction with real footage, this poetic film sensitively portrays what it means to grow up in a world where one day fences appear, creating an ‘us’ and a ‘them’.
