Being an adult is hard. It’s especially hard when you’re only fifteen. Danutė is the only “adult” in her family. Clearly, that’s far too complex a role for a teenager. Every day, she faces external limitations that restrict her potential. A child like that measures everything through the lens of survival and takes on responsibility as her only form of protection.
