Gabi, Between Ages 8 and 13

Synopsis

Gabi just wants to be Gabi. A simple wish one could think, but it’s not. Gabi feels different. As an outspoken 8 year old this never created problems. But as the family moves to a small town and puberty closes in, things start to change. Over the course of 5 years, we literally see Gabi growing up before our eyes. Gabi captures the rarely documented pre- teen years. This is a story about a person who struggles to find her place in the world during the most transformative period of life. It’s a film which challenges preconceptions of gender and norms, showing the search for identity and underlining the human right to belong and to be who you are.

Film is appropriate for age 10+.

The film is brought with the financial support of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants.
