SYNOPSIS

Adjusting to a new neighborhood is a challenge for Sandra, a shy reclusive girl. She spends most of her time playing indoors with her younger brother or riding her bike near her house. One day, though, she meets and falls for a handsome boy named Mike. But her precocious classmate Nadja also begins to flirt with Mike. Further complicating her situation is an affair developing between Sandra¡¯s father and Mike¡¯s mother. Her crush, a rival in love and her father¡¯s affair signify Sandra¡¯s maturation into adulthood in this entirely new environment.
 Little Girl Blue is a film about the emotional and sexual development of a teenage girl. Even through conflict and drama, the film maintains a humorous and lighthearted perspective on the characters¡¯ daily lives and emotions. This perspective makes the film accessible to teens and adults alike. This storytelling, along with exquisite cinematography and vibrant use of color, develops a richness about the characters¡¯ inner worlds that enhances the overall cinematic text. (Kwon Eun-sun)
