An intimate and deeply human portrait which follows the journey of Roosi, a young girl navigating the complexities of growing up in an alternative community, a communal environment shaped by idealism and rebellion. As she matures, Roosi begins to question the world around her—its rules, freedoms, and contradictions—inviting us into a raw exploration of identity, belonging and the struggle between individual will and collective ideals. With sensitivity and striking honesty, Becoming Roosi captures the beauty and the burdens of forging one’s own path. Margit Lillak's lens offers not just a window into a unique upbringing, but a mirror for all who search for authenticity in a conflicted world. A poignant journey of transformation, self-discovery, and the quiet power of growing up.
