Thank you again, jezevex! That is an interesting link, that offstream site. I'm gonna have to look around on that one.

imdb plot:
During a fencing training camp, thirtheen-year old Puck struggles to feel connected to her rapidly changing body.

Thank you jezevex!

WARNING: Anti-ASMR trigger warning for the opening and closing credits!!!

I was very pleased to again see Faye Kimmijser from [REL] De Club van Lelijke Kinderen (2019).

A few things left me perplexed:
Spoiler:

1) Our heroine is in front of the changing-room mirror having a panic attack over her new protective gear while there is another girl RIGHT BEHIND HER and visible in the mirror already wearing the same item! What is wrong with you? Look around! She is not even the first girl in her group to have developed enough to need the required chest protection for women in fencing. If she was not so self-absorbed she would see she was not alone.

2) The adult camp counselor makes a BIG point about boys and girls keeping out of each other's dorm areas, or they will be executed. (Or something like that.) Yet there is a boy in the girls' changing room outside the gym! What the hell is he doing in there!? Co-ed fencing, sure, no problem. They will stab each other in the heart anyway. But if they are separated by sex in their sleeping area, why not their changing area?

Personally I always favored co-ed dorms AND showers. :D But having one and not the other makes no sense to me.

You have me curious, Night! I wonder what anti-asmr is! Does Puck eat a Poffertjes and Oliebollen feast right next to her microphone? :DDDD

Will check out this one soon (a lot of shorts just landed!)

You obviously understand what kind of sounds trigger ASMR (anyone who does not can Google it if they dare). ASMR refers to the pleasure some people take in those sounds. Most people are indifferent to them. By "anti-ASMR" I simply mean those who generally find the sounds really, really annoying. Like me.

I also like to mock trigger warnings because I am a jerk.

The amplified sounds in the opening and closing credits are not integral to the story, so they don't ruin it. I just had to get past them!

:D
I was gonna include Pannekoeken too but I figured I listed enough. Was thinking Raggmunkar too but then I remembered that one is Swedish. Dang, those Germanic countries sure do have some excellent fried dough and breakfasty treats. Hope I'm not sparking too hard a late night hankerings.
