A star is born. great story telling

The movie is stunning on location, the soundtrack transports you to this young girl's world, Her journey is about finding out who she is, where she comes from, and to feel connection. One night Varpu spontaneously goes on a date with a boy her age (she is 12 years old approx) in the middle of the night ,after not being able to sleep, He teaches her to drive in a stolen car but expects more of her than she is willing to give. Anybody would go back home, jump in bed, before being found out. This young girl, however, decides to go on a road trip alone, in search of her identity. Linnea Skog deserves an Oscar for her interpretation of this beautiful unassuming character. The writer, Selma Vilhunen, did a beautiful job developing the main character Varpu (the young girl) and directing this film about human connection.
