About the Film

A powerful short film exploring the universal need for meaningful initiation rituals in modern society. As traditional rites of passage fade in contemporary culture, what replaces them for young people?

This documentary examines how modern youth navigate the transition from childhood to adulthood in an era without clear markers of maturity. Through intimate portraits of young people seeking purpose and identity, the film reveals the deep human need for transformation, community recognition, and personal meaning.

An urgent exploration of what we've lost—and what we might rediscover—in our collective search for authentic coming-of-age experiences.
