The clash of two exaggerated worlds:
the youth and the adults,
the community and the individualists,
the aimless and the efficient.


Youth Topia is the debut film by Dennis Stormer (writer & director) and Marisa Meier (writer & production).

The coming-of-age drama tells the story of how Wanja, played by Lia von Blarer, is turned by the ubiquitous “algorithm” from an outsider into an adult. She abandons her exciting youthful life as a good-for-nothing, and finds the recognition she thought was missing from her life in her newfound dream job as an architect.

Wanja’s best friends now go out without her to party and run riot. They are the only, and the most valuable, remnants of her former life. Without them, she feels dreadfully lonely and alone. If Wanja wants to climb further up the career ladder, she must make a momentous decision.
