Poland2023documentary73'Konkurs polski (2024)

Lili is eight and tries to understand the world of adults. She lives in Norway, the migration destination of her parents, who are no longer together. When they meet, her dad takes her backpacking, which is an opportunity to deepen their relationship. They hitchhike, sleep in a tent and wander around fjords, while Lili asks difficult questions. After their split-up, each parent started a new family, which means that the girl’s world is to expand by more family members. Will Lili be able to fit in with this new patchwork family setup?
