Fashion Story * True Begin Valley * South Africa

 

Teenagers, almost grown up ...
they are still growing, how does it feel?

How do some teenagers from South Africa look to the future?
How do they find their way?
Especially, how do they face the background of hard experiences during their childhood, as well as the current difficult living conditions?

How is it for them to star a photo shoot,
in particular, since they are not used to do it?
Do they enjoy it?

Can they experience their own strength during the photo shoot?
Can they feel a sense of unfolding?

 

Marlin (15) from South Africa is the hero of this story. He was in front of a camera for the first time. The photo location is his home. This apple farm in Elgin Valley is where he lives with his parents, brothers and sisters under simple conditions.

In this story he simultaneously performs as a storyteller and an actor. Marlin takes us with him on a journey towards himself. On set, he just grew big and the team were deeply impressed by his presence and sensitivity.
