How it feels

A 13-year-old girl named Joyce sits in the back of her mother's red Toyota Corolla on the way to the airport. She is flying alone to Berlin to visit her father and his new girlfriend. The film shows how adults offload their unresolved emotions onto their children and how those children grow up too fast.

What happens

Turbulens er en dansk kortfilm fra 2012 instrueret af Carina Randløv efter eget manuskript. På bagsædet af sin mors røde Toyota Corolla sidder Joyce. Hun er 13 år og skal flyve alene til Berlin for at besøge sin far og hans nye kæreste. En rejse der kunne være glædelig, hvis det ikke var for Joyces mor. En historie om voksne der tørrer deres uforløste følelsesliv af på børn. Og om børn der derfor bliver til små voksne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
