Das Glitzern im Barbieblut

Glittering Barbieblood

A young mother and her daughters are sitting under a bridge. The camera scans the surroundings and follows them on a strange journey of changing sensory perceptions, self-discovery and different kinds of society. Like some unruly 'painting by numbers', it feels as if they are flying under the radar of symbols – from a Mercedes star to Barbie's horse and the ruins of the world’s largest automobile factory in Detroit. How does one grow up in this kind of world?
