The Vegetarian Tigers of Paradise by Crystal Jeans



What Crystal Jeans captures is an authentic teenage experience.

That tension of the transition between childhood and the adult world – at times pushed forward to deal with situations without the life experience to deal with them. But then the adults around you don't seem to be coping any better...

Also the awkwardness of trying to form an identity – attempts to be cool, attempts to be yourself and somehow failing at both...

A world with limited horizons – but new perspectives – full of hopes for the future, but also the beginning of moments of realisation that you probably can't “do anything”, that setting your mind to it is not enough, circumstances will hold you back, drag you back.

A powerful encounter with real life.
