Part of

Sixteen +

A musical film almanac will tell about what worries modern adolescents in the period of growing up: first love, jealousy, envy, first sexual experience, acceptance of one's body and sexuality, separation from adults and attempts to prove their worth, loneliness. Each of the short dramas and melodramas in the project is inspired by a popular song.
