The World Is Mine
Making Waves: New Romanian Cinema
December 2 - 7, 2015
In this meaner and lower-budget Mean Girls, 16-year-old Larisa struggles to stay afloat after falling for the wrong guy. The small-town world in which good looks and money give power over the less fortunate doesn’t favor the rebellious and stubborn teenager, who lashes out with devastating consequences.
In this Romanian version of Mean Girls—only meaner, and probably made with just the catering budget of the 2004 American film—16-year-old Larisa struggles to stay afloat after falling for the wrong guy. The small-town world in which good looks and money give power over the less fortunate doesn’t favor the rebellious and stubborn teenager. Increasingly at odds with her school, her friends, and her parents, Larisa lashes out with devastating consequences.
