In My Life I Don't Want, pioneering Burmese animators tell the story of a nameless girl, following her through childhood, schooldays, and marriage, as she copes with bullying, domestic violence, civil war, and ingrained cultural spectres. Difficulties at home, conflict with parents, abuse by family members, lack of education because she's a girl... it all leads to a life on the streets. Despite her challenges, she sees that there are other girls suffering like her, and with that comes hope.
