Girlhood

About This Movie

Girlhood really captures the essence of coming-of-age amidst the backdrop of pandemic-induced isolation. You’ve got these three girls, Christina, Nefeli, and Vera, who are navigating not just their teenage years but the suffocating weight of societal expectations and sexism. The documentary feels raw and intimate, almost like you're eavesdropping on their candid conversations. It has this pacing that mirrors their uncertainty—moments of restless energy followed by quiet introspection. The atmosphere is thick with their dreams of independence, but also the reality that keeps pushing back. The performances are genuine, unfiltered, and that makes you feel their struggles deeply. Definitely a distinctive take on girlhood in contemporary Greece, something you don’t see every day.
