On Our Own

About This Movie

On Our Own (2026) is a raw and poignant exploration of isolation and connection. Flavia, hardened by her parents’ absence, navigates her teenage years with a tough exterior. The film captures her emotional distance well, but it’s when two runaway children enter her life that the narrative truly begins to unfold. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension of their shared struggles to build gradually. The atmosphere is rich, filled with a sense of longing and the weight of unspoken words. The performances, especially Flavia’s, are subtly layered—there’s a mix of vulnerability and resilience that's quite striking. It’s a character-driven piece that leans heavily into themes of family, the bonds we create, and the fragility of human connection.

Focus on character development and emotional depth. · Appreciate the atmospherics—there’s a lot unsaid. · Not your typical coming-of-age story.
