In flashbacks, a family joins a cosmic cult that promises salvation on Jupiter. As the past reveals their struggles, the teenage daughter must choose whether to follow her parents into the cult or forge her own path on Earth. Processing Jupiter (2019). “Jupiter” is a superbly crafted film that taps into the inner world of a teenager who not only faces the challenges of insecurity, but also the trials of her disabled younger brother and her parents’ struggles. descent into madness. A dizzying landscape and space on the edge of science fiction and even psychological horror. During the discussion after the film it was noted that the first comment was empathy for the parents. I had to counter that in the madness and horror of the world, children are tragically and inexplicably neglected. I also noticed that many adults were not helpful. The director insisted that they should be reintegrated into the “good democratic society” and that their terrible deeds should not be recognized (well-intentioned). However, his film seems to be an analysis of the vulnerability of adults in difficult situations, but a hymn to children. P. S. At the Sofia Film Festival, it won the YOUTH JURY AWARD for the film in International Competition.
