Je m'appelle Mariia Trailers

A bittersweet and heartwarming short documentary road movie about a Ukrainian Mariia and her mother Liubov, who depart their newly adopted wintery home town of Somero and start on a journey through Europe, towards Mariia’s big dream of visiting Paris and studying in France. The war looms in the background in the form of remembrance, loss and unanswered phone calls, but in its core the film tells a more universal story of the power of dreaming, transition, shedding the weight of patriarchy and the sacrifices parents make to pave way for the young.

Reviews
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
