How Do You Measure A Year?

Ella is the daughter of Jay Rosenblatt, a director known for his documentary experiments. At the same time, Ella is the protagonist of the film, who answers a few simple questions every year from her second to her eighteenth birthday. How do her answers change over time? The questions concern her private life, family life, but also more general concepts, such as power. Although the form of Rosenblatt’s film falls into the category of a home movie, it is hard not to link the American director’s film with Krzysztof Kieslowski’s legendary Talking Heads (1980).
