“Are you there? A girl who is attracted to both boys and girls?” “Don’t You Worry, It Will Probably Pass” is an unencumbered look at three girls who responded to this ad in an internet chat room. This was the same classified ad the filmmaker, Cecilia Neant-Falk, had placed in a magazine some 15 years earlier when she too was a lonely and confused teenager. Using the internet this time, she begins her exploration of the coming out experience for a new generation of queer girls. From the overwhelming response to her ad, she found three young women, My, Natalie and Joppe. Armed with their own cameras, each girl recorded her secrets, desires and anxieties over a four-year period with minimal intrusion from the filmmaker. The result is an engaging and intimate portrait of the adolescent girls coming to terms with their sexuality and dealing with all of the raw emotions involved in the process. Just when you thought that the coming out genre could no longer pique your interest, along comes this riveting look into the minds of teenagers through their own eyes. Visually and emotionally provocative, this documentary will stimulate all audiences – youths and adults alike. English and Swedish with English subtitles.
