About the Work
Situation:
Young adults were among those who suffered the most during the pandemic – especially in Germany. Faced with two years of repeated homeschooling, contact restrictions and long periods of on and off lockdowns, they missed out on so many significant experiences of growing up. As a food supplier, PENNY is close to the everyday lives of its customers and wanted everyone to finally acknowledge the difficulties experienced by young people.
Idea:
A Christmas wish becomes a plea for youth. In our film, a teenager asks his mother what she wants for Christmas. Her unusual answer reveals what an entire generation has been missing for two years: "I just wish you'd get your youth back
Solution:
An intimate chamber play turns into a roller coaster ride of emotions at the very scene of the pandemic: a family’s home. The mother's monologue and the seamless camera take us from youthful highs to deepest pain of first heartbreak. The actors convince with touching performances and the atmospheric cover of Bon Jovi's "It's my Life" carries the viewer along different moods of the film.
In four minutes, the film tells a coming-of-age-drama and sparked a discussion about the lost youth of an entire generation.
