Pebbles
Gråstein
Pebbles is about Maren, a young girl trying to fit in with her friends but fails to connect with them while they are being too occupied dancing through the lens of a social media application. Things become weirder when her socially awkward uncle shows up, until they share a moment of his troubled past. Maren realizes that maybe even a regular pebble can show beauty and uniqueness, in its own way.
