Zoomers. Who are they? What motivates them? How are they different from adolescents in generations past? Through the lives of five 15 to 18 years olds from five very different countries, we witness how they navigate the global pandemic with unprecedented access to knowledge, tools and opportunities. Intimate on-the-fly interviews, engaging actuality, candid video diaries, unfiltered user-generated content provide an intriguing portrait of our subjects and their complex inner worlds. And full access to their mobile devices offers yet greater insight into their lives. This first-of-its-kind observational documentary is an insightful exploration and a riveting depiction of teens today. In the final episode, our zoomers cross their biggest hurdles in the pursuit of their dreams. Bella (Indonesia) is made a substitute player but she is determined to find her path in the world of e-sports. Shi Ying (China) is hoping for the best for her exams to avoid disappointing her mum. Remus (Singapore) prepares for a seed funding pitch but investors are not warming up to him. Vlad (Ukraine) tries to find a way to finance his tuition to avoid army conscription. Kevin (India) makes new friends but continues to struggle with life in boarding school. Will they cross the finishing line or stumble before seeing their dreams bear fruit?
