    Don't You Worry, It Will Probably Pass

    Cecilia Neant-Falk 2003 Sweden Documentary color 74min Swedish 35mm
    At age 14 Cecilia sent a letter to "Okej" (a music magazine for teenagers) seeking contact with other bisexual 14-year-old girls. She got 20 replies from girls in Småland, Dalarna and Norrland... The letters could be despairing, humourous, romantic but common for all of them was their deprivation of contact.

    The interviewees in "Don’t you worry, it will probably pass" was contacted through the same ad that Cecilia Neant-Falk had put in "Okej" more than 10 years ago. They are all different in temperament, interests and background. Most of them live in a Swedish provincial towns or small communities. When the film starts, they still haven't told "it" to their friends and parents. The camera works as a secret video diary where feelings and thoughts about identity are documented. The girls themselves film sequences with parents, siblings and schoolmates in order to give a background and understanding of the values of the family.
