Loneliness in young people – Ways out of isolation | DW Documentary
Loneliness is often underestimated – especially among young people. The documentary follows four young people: Ellen, Gordon, Lilli and Vanelynn, who feel isolated for very different reasons.
Ellen moves to Freiburg as a student and doesn’t know many people there yet. Another person affected is 19-year-old Lilli, who often feels alone in Cottbus in Brandenburg with her left-wing values. Then there’s influencer Vanelynn from Düsseldorf. Although she’s constantly online, she misses having real-life contacts. The last protagonist is Gordon from Stuttgart, who lives with depression. The four of them speak about their struggles and hopes, which the film records with openness and sensitivity.
