"Marysia's World" is an intimate documentary about the hardships of coming into adulthood which is told from the older sister's perspective. Marysia is 20 years old and she doesn't clearly know what to do with her life - she is standing at the door of the adulthood while still being a child. She does not leave anywhere without her smartphone and her relationship with mother is quite strained. Emotions are buzzing and their life is made of constant battles.
