What does it mean to "fit in"? How can we be authentically ourselves while finding acceptance in our respective communities? "Fitting In" brings together six films asking these questions in unique ways. Several films examine adolescence and the propensity of teenagers to make personal sacrifices or compromises (All I Ever Wanted, Exposed, Fourth Block, and Mom) – for better or worse. Through its choreography, Project Lullaby: CHOICE spotlights mental health awareness and expresses, through dance, the emotional duress of those struggling with mental illness. Together, these films explore the costs of fitting in and the personal significance of finding understanding with others along the way.
MAI (17), a Vietnamese girl who was trafficked to Germany, needs to earn money for her family in Vietnam, but is exploited and sold on by her smugglers. She flees and asks her new Viet-German friend LINH (11) for help, whose mother is part of the system herself. Suddenly, not only Mai but also Linh is finding herself torn between Freedom and Family.
