Das Haus ist voller Menschen. Nur Cleo ist allein. Nachdem ihre kleine Schwester Erin im Pool der Familie ertrunken ist, sind Oma, Tante und Cousinen immer anwesend. Cleos Mutter aber hat sich in sich selbst zurückgezogen und ist nicht ansprechbar. Cleos Welt zerfällt in Momentaufnahmen. Die Farben sind fast aus den Bildern gewichen, die Perspektiven teils schief, der Blick hält sich an Details fest. Immer wieder durchschneiden Splitter der Erinnerung die schmerzvoll veränderte Gegenwart. Doch das Leben drängt sich un- aufhaltbar dazu: die Nähe und Spiele der Cousinen, ein Geburtstag, die erste Menstruation, der Garten voll rauschender Pflanzen. Die Mädchen und Frauen beleben den Ort der Trauer mit sanfter Geduld und beharrlicher Zuwendung.

The house is full of people, but Cleo is alone. Her grandmother, aunt and cousins are constantly around, and have been ever since her little sister Erin drowned in the pool, leaving Cleo‘s mother withdrawn and unresponsive. Cleo‘s world has become fragmented; a series of brief snapshots – partly crooked, fixated on the smallest details, the colours all but faded away. Again and again, splintered memories cut into a painfully changed present, but so, too, does life: in the closeness with the cousins, their games, a birthday party, Cleo‘s first period, and in the garden full of rustling plants. With care, patience and tenderness, the girls and women fill a place of sorrow with life.

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 ...
