Synopsis

Peppermint is a present day drama about Beth, a young teenager whose life is a difficult mix of emerging sexuality, turbulent relationships and personal insecurity. The story circles around Beth's attempt to validate herself in the eyes of her competitive mother Ann, resulting in a series of shocking revelations which unfold in the space of one difficult day.

Caught in the emotional crossfire are Mike and Nan, the people closest to the pair. Through their interactions emerges a past of parental neglect and irresponsible adulthood, which looks inevitably set to repeat itself.

Through the psychoanalytic and introspective voiceover of a young post-pandemic Chinese migrant in Europe, the film interweaves her private memories of intimacy with public narratives of resistance. As her reflections unfold, she and her community navigate secrecy, repression, survival, looming precarity, and displacement, all while confronting the personal cost of existing in a world that demands their silence.

Markus, a young man adrift after his father’s death, finds purpose in an underground graffiti partnership with his friend Sean.
