BABYSTAR

BABYSTAR is the story of a young woman, Luca, who is an influencer since birth, as she is the product of the love of two influencers. Her whole growing up was shared on Social Media platforms. As she now is nearly an adult, her parents have to think of new business solutions and decide to have another child. Lucas‘ position is attacked and for the first time she reflects on her upbringing and tries to create a new life outside her family. She spirals into a deep emptiness and begins to realize how little of herself is truly left. After various attempts of living on her own fail, she returns home and witnesses the birth of her sister and decides to protect her from the childhood she herself had to live through.

Babystar, a satirical drama, explores the phenomenon of family influencing and questions whether children are not only a product of their parents – but also their commodity.
