BERLINALE GENERATION KPLUS WINNER 2022: AS A COMEDIAN, SASHA WANTS TO PUT AN END TO HER SADNESS AND ANGER 

Sasha is angry and has a plan. Due to her father being incon­so­lable ever sin­ce her mother has taken her own life. That must chan­ge, so Sasha makes a sur­vi­val list. She does­n’t want to beco­me like her mother. That’s why she cuts off her hair, no lon­ger reads books any­mo­re and does­n’t want to take care of anyo­ne or any­thing. To make her father laugh again, the 12-year-old deci­des to beco­me a stand-up come­di­an. Supported by fami­ly and fri­ends she final­ly finds a way to deal with her own grief. With gre­at sen­si­bi­li­ty, the film shows how humour can heal the wounds left by the sad loss of a parent. (JK)
