One in a Million tells the story of two girls coming of age. As gymnast and YouTuber Whitney Bjerken from the US struggles with setbacks, she turns to music to express her feelings. Yara from Germany is one of her biggest fans and part of a show-acrobatics team. When she falls in love with a girl for the very first time, she barely finds time for her fan-account anymore. While navigating the exciting world of social media, Yara and Whitney begin to find out who they are and what they want in life.
A documentary coming-of-age film about success and loneliness, friendship and first love, coming out as queer and having the courage to find your voice.
Why we like it: The heart of the experiences of two girls comes across through the way digital platforms can be both a challenge and an empowerment. When social media goes beyond its limits, authenticity thrives, creating common ambitions and unparalleled friendships.
We would like to thank the Goethe Institute of Athens for their kind provision of the film’s subtitles.
