The children’s helpline is called every day by kids looking for a sympathetic ear. In this youth documentary, which won the special jury award at IDFA, every theme is addressed.
"I’m in love with two boys. One is very sweet and the other has these funny, bulging eyes. I just can’t choose." "Why do I have to move again? All these refugee centres are just as terrible." Just a few random quotes from conversations that kids have on the children’s helpline. They call it to talk about divorce and abuse. About moving and being in love. About cats and guinea pigs. Growing up is fun and exciting, but at times also sad and lonely. This collage of phone conversations shows you are never alone with your story.
