Für Candice Phee beginnt eine abenteuerliche Mission, als sich das Mädchen im Rahmen eines Schulprojekts zum Ziel setzt, ihre von Trauer und Streit zerrüttete Familie zu versöhnen. Unerschütterlich enthusiastisch – und dabei nicht selten ungewollt komisch – setzt sie sich für das Glück ihrer Mitmenschen ein. In ihrem neuen Mitschüler Douglas Benson, der fest daran glaubt, aus einer anderen Dimen- sion gefallen zu sein, findet sie einen unerwarteten Komplizen und glühenden Verehrer. Zwischen fantastischem Märchenwald und kleinstädtischer Gradlinigkeit, basierend auf Barry Jonsbergs Erfolgs- roman „Das Blubbern von Glück“, buchstabiert Theaterregisseur John Sheedy das Leben in all seinen bunten Facetten durch. Von A bis Z.

Young Candice Phee finds herself on an adventurous mission when, as part of a school project, she resolves to become a peacemaker in her quarrelsome, grief-ridden family. She is doggedly enthusiastic – and often unintentionally comical – as she devotes herself to making others happy. Her new schoolmate Douglas Benson believes that he has come from another dimension, but he turns out to be an unexpected ally and an ardent admirer. Based on Barry Jonsberg‘s novel ‘‘My Life as an Alphabet ‘‘, theatre director John Sheedy‘s film adaptation portrays all the colourful facets of life between a fantastical, magical forest and small-town conservatism. From A to Z.

About the Perception of Women in Spain in the 90s

Las Niñas is a film in this year’s Generation program with a strong young female protagonist first becoming aware of the world’s inequalities between boys and girls and its injustices. It is set in the 90s in Spain. I was lucky enough to get in tough with the films director Pilar Palomero and ask her a few questions: freie Generation Reporter: Can you tell me a bit about the background of the film? Pilar Palomero: The film is not autobiographical, but a lot of my childhood experiences have flown into Las Niñas. A few years ago, when I was thinking about making a film about my education, I found my notebook from my religion class in grade 6. I read an essay, which is exactly the one that appears in the film, where the nun explains the girls sexuality. At the first moment I laughed at the thought of what kind of education we got but then I started to realise how contradictory it was. It was 1992 and they were talking to us about sexuality, chastity and only having sex in the marriage...

The wind phone as an emotional escape

After Yuki & Nina in the 2009 Kplus programme, Nobuhiro Suwa returns to the Generation programme with another film. His new film Kaze No Denwa is in the 14+ programme. The day after the world premiere he takes a whole hour for Clara and me to answer our questions about the shooting process, the situation in Japan and other things. We make ourselves comfortable in the lounge of the Hotel Berlin, Berlin and exchange thoughts about Kaze No Denwa, Japan and the world with nice background music, while Isabelle kindly translates for us. Free Generation Reporters : How did the film team come together and how did you find Serena Motola, Haru's actress? Nobuhiro Suwa : It has been 18 years since I shot my last film in Japan. Since 2002, I have actually only worked with French producers. So I didn't know most of my new colleagues before. It was all very exciting and I was quite nervous, but everything went well. We did a casting for Haru, several girls showed up, but in the end ...
