For a girl in the third world, marriage is not a question of love. For the 13 year-old Tasleema in Bangladesh, marriage is necessary for the survival. YOUNG –BUT OLD ENOUGH is a dramadocumentary videofilm based on a real case. It is a result of a close cooperation between young media-people and social workers in Bangladesh and Danmarks Radio. The idea for the film has arisen out of this cooperation. The film was researched, written, produced, and edited in Bangladesh, so that the production group in Bangladesh has had maximum influence on the finished film.
