Becoming Roosi

Deep, funny and provocative story of a girl who escaped a hippy eco-commune as a child and became a cosmopolitan citizen. Who will save the planet if not the last generation?
The filmmaker follows a girl, Roosi, for 10 years from age 8-18. She grew up as the child of an activist. She struggles to cope with climate grief and guilt. She is torn between becoming an activist herself vs finding her own life path through creativity and enjoying the teenage ecstasy. When she was 8, her family moved to an eco-village. Her mother Liina was the frontwoman of the commune. Roosi hated her childhood there. Now, eight years later, Roosi is stepping in the footprints of her mom. Her intelligence and vocalness are rare for her age, expressing raw truths for the whole Z generation.
