7.5/10
I haven’t seen much of Aleksei Fedorchenko’s work, just a short from a triptych I saw last year, so I didn’t know what to expect from this one. It has a curious format – a compilation of some twentyish short stories about girls of the Mari community in Russia, all with names beginning with the letter ‘O’. Almost all the stories deal in some way with the girls becoming women and the rites of passage associated with that – puberty, menstruation, first loves and crushes, and so on. The segments range from the bizarre to the light-hearted to the touching. Nothing mindblowing but fun and interesting to watch.
