A common conflict between teens and their parents gets a new environment – it goes online! The daughter’s blog vs her mom’s blog! Who will win?
Zhanna is a popular blogger who suddenly decides to shift her focus from travelling to writing about parenting a difficult teenager. Zhanna’s daughter Polina is that difficult teenager. Though, maybe not so difficult but an ordinary one, with all those inner conflicts, first love, and problems at school, one who doesn’t like being exposed by her mom online? They don’t understand each other anymore, no matter how forward-thinking and creative Zhanna is. Polina decides to start her own blog so as to resist her mom online, but she doesn’t expect that their family confrontation would resonate with other people so much, both online and offline.
