Emotional turmoil, communication breakdowns and a body that is out of whack. Puberty is a time of doubt and insecurity. Ask, Luca, and Josefine are teenagers who get to experience the chaos of self-discovery at the Østerskov boarding school. Here, the lessons are playful and the students are taught to come to terms with their fluid selves through role-play. Hurray for being different! Ina Borrmann
