Fourteen years old Tanvi is, due to her raging hormones, swinging back and forth between the heart and the head, between desire and security of the family life. On the one hand she would like to be more adventurous. On the other hand she wants to respect the Hindu family traditions. So far Tanvi sticks to these strict rules....
Tanvi loves BOLLYWOOD. Her biggest wish is to play a part in a movie with the famous BOLLYWOOD actor Sharukh Khan. He is the ideal man, and the one Tanvi is going to marry in the future, has to be like him. But the most important question of this Hindu teenage girl is: Can she make her own choice and marry the boy she loves? Or will there be an arranged marriage for her?
'How hormones changed my life' is made with the support of the Dutch Cultural Broadcasting Fund.
The script was developed in the Kids&Docs Workshop 2007/2008.
