Lil Wachmann (The Jutland Art Academy) is mainly dealing with two subjects: the traditional film narrative and generation portraits. Using her main film sources, Harmony Korine's Gummo and Joachim Trier's Oslo, 31. August, she portrays her own decade as a ninety-kid. This is why the story is set in the 90s and in her hometown Aarhus. "I sense some kind of mutual feel in my generation" says Lil, "I'm still not sure what - that's what I'm investigating in my videos. It's some sort of numbness towards the outworld and at the same time a feeling of restlessness, because there's nothing to fight for. Nowhere."
