Kiddo

World premiere: Berlinale 2023 / Generation Kplus

Captivated by eccentric parents and the struggle of getting to know them, Zara Dwinger together with co-screenwriter Nena van Driel, created the story of Lu (Rosa van Leeuwen) and her mother Karina (Frieda Barnhard). Eleven-year-old Lu is living in a foster home when her long-lost mother Karina shows up unexpectedly and takes her on a wild road trip in a beat-up sports car - all the way to her grandma in Poland. Lu soon finds out it's all or nothing with Karina when she gets pulled into a Bonnie and Clyde-like fantasy. But reality quickly catches up, forcing them to decide what they're willing to do to stay together forever.
