Children. As Time Flies.

About This Movie

Children. As Time Flies is quite the introspective documentary. Directed by Thomas Heise, it's part three of a broader exploration of life in Saxony-Anhalt, focusing on the everyday realities and dreams of its residents. The central figure, Jeanette, offers a raw glimpse into her life as she navigates becoming a mother at a young age and eventually realizing her aspiration of being a bus driver. The film's pacing feels deliberate—there’s a stillness that invites you into her world, contrasting with the noise of life around her. Heise's observational style captures not just Jeanette's journey, but also the subtle shifts in her environment, making it a reflective piece on personal growth amidst societal expectations. It's really about the quiet moments that define us, you know?
