Just A Child

About This Movie

Just A Child (2015) is quite a raw look into the lives of two young mothers, Lidija and Esmeralda. The documentary strips away the glamor often found in narratives about motherhood, instead focusing on their daily struggles and the poignant silence of their environment. Living in a safe house, the film captures the delicate balance of hope and despair. The pacing feels unhurried, almost meditative, allowing viewers to sit with the weight of their circumstances. The atmosphere is heavy yet tender, as these young women navigate the complexities of motherhood without much support. The performances feel genuine; you can sense their vulnerability and strength. It's an impressionistic portrait of resilience in difficult situations, something that lingers after viewing.
