Film description

Growing Up is Anja Breien’s debut, her first short film after graduation from IDHEC in Paris. The script was developed based on a medieval legend, about a little girl who is the sole survivor of a plague. The film is set in a secluded mountain landscape through which the lonely child wanders as if unaware of the tragedy. The child’s real troubles begin when vagrants approach her settlement.
