Cosima - Perfect Naive 2011
Little Kosima prefers to talk to flowers and trees than to school directors and sex educators. Her eldest brother prefers to talk to great people than to his father. Her younger brother would rather talk to the enemy neighbor's daughter than to anyone else. Kosima's father, a bitter farmer, would rather not talk than talk to anyone. One day, when the school management insists that seven-year-old Kosima understand her right to have sex, they all understand nothing - least of all the innocent, dreamy little Kosima. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't turn things upside down...
