Las Furias
2020 was the year when people all over the world were forced to stop adapting to a new everyday life. The pandemic creates fear, uncertainty and new ways of living. In We stay at home, 11 children and young people from different countries around the world take us on their individual journeys with Covid 19 as a common backdrop. Regardless of whether you are a thirteen-year-old from France, a nine-year-old from Brooklyn or a nineteen-year-old from Brazil, you can be torn between the same frustration and hope that the pandemic will soon be over. And share common dreams about what youth should be like. Lilou (15) spends long days in lockdown with her goats and dogs in the countryside of Spain. Mohammed (17) from Bærum sets out on his life's first forest trip when everything else is closed. The young people in the film have to adapt to many changes as a result of the virus. In parallel with Covid-19, big existential questions arise about what kind of world we actually live in. In the USA, the entire country is in an uproar after the murder of George Floyd, in Brazil the death toll is rising daily, and yet people are encouraged to live as normal. But what is normal now? Eleven young people from eight different countries deal with the crisis in different ways. Through their own footage, we get to see how thoughts and reactions to isolation, illness, home-schooling, racism and heartbreak unfold. They long to breathe freely, to be with friends and to no longer be afraid. Because in the background lies the fear of infecting a family member or other people in the risk zone like a quivering nerve. Alecsander (19), who lives outside Rio de Janeiro, has severe bronchitis so he has not been out since March 14, and is starting to go "crazy" from being "closed". Audra (17) in New York is upset and shocked by racism and violence after the brutal murder of George Floyd. Clyde (9) from Brooklyn is frustrated by not knowing anything about his future. When does school start again? When can he finally move back home to Brooklyn and his friends? And will things ever really go back to normal? A warm film about being human seen through the eyes of the young, at a time in history when the world was thrown into a pandemic that will affect us for a long time. —Filmweb
