MYSELFIE

At the age of 12 Maya lost all of her hair. Within a couple of weeks she turned completely bald. The diagnosis: Alopecia areata. It causes Maya’s body to reject every single hair like a foreign object. Two years later she has gotten used to her baldness. A coming-of-age film that portrays the self-exploration of a whole generation by looking at Maya’s story.
