SWEETIES

Liefjes

Netherlands | 2024 | 80 min | col.

For teenage girls born and raised in the city, spending their summer holidays at a campsite means adapting their habits to the unknowns of life in the open air. Camping represents a close encounter, however domesticated, with nature and its mysterious laws. It’s not only about starry skies, leafy trees, and delightful ponds: deep inside something is moved, prompting the three characters in Sweeties to dialogue, along with the new acquaintances in the campsite. Questions surface like bubbles in sparkling drinks: who am I really? Do I like boys or girls? Is it better entertaining a virtual friendship or locking my eyes with someone right there? With a sensitive and humorous touch, the film comes close to three contemporary girls, shares their unexpressed feelings, and tells the story of a holiday at 14 years of age which – you can bet on it – they will not easily forget.
