Achtundzwanzig - Der Weg entsteht im Gehen
28 - The Path is Made by Walking
Following "14 - Grown up in 9 Months" (2012) and "18 - Dare to Live" (2014), this is the third installment of Cornelia Grünberg's long-term documentary series about four young mothers – Lisa, Fabienne, Laura, and Steffi – who were only 14 when they became unexpectedly pregnant. Despite their early responsibility, they gave birth to Leyla, Valentin, Stella Luna, and Jason, navigating the challenges of teenage motherhood with courage and resilience. Now, 15 years later, their children are the same age their mothers were back then. The film reflects on this journey, with the young women sharing what it was like to suddenly care for a child, how these experiences shaped them, and how their lives have unfolded. For the first time, the children also share their perspectives, offering insight into their childhoods and their lives today.
