SELINA SEEMANN
The strongest among them
Selina Seemann's radical debut revolves around the painful subject of grooming - with a memorable protagonist who refuses to let her interpretative sovereignty be taken away from her.
Milena, in her early 20s, is determined to fall in love with Josh. But then disturbing images emerge. From her memories, the picture of a long-standing abusive relationship with Nick, who is many years older, married and employed by the church, begins to piece itself together...
In crystal-clear language, Selina Seemann portrays her protagonist, despite her traumatic experiences, as a resilient, self-confident young woman who never sees herself as a victim but, together with her friends, goes her way towards self-determination.
