Skater Girl (2021)

In the heartwarming tale of Skater Girl, we are introduced to a vibrant journey of self-discovery, audacity, and the transformative power of carving your own path. Nestled within the rustic confines of a secluded Rajasthan village in India, we meet Prerna (A riveting performance by Rachel Saanchita Gupta in her debut), a young teenager shackled by the chains of traditions and filial obligations. The quiet monotony of her life is stirred when Jessica (Amy Maghera), a cosmopolitan advertising executive from London, ventures into the village, seeking insights into her late father's early years. With her comes an exhilarating whirlwind of change as she introduces Prerna and the village children to the thrilling world of skateboarding, thanks to her skateboarder friend (Jonathan Readwin). Engrossed in this newfound pastime, the children send ripples through the peaceful village, as they weave through its narrow lanes on their skateboards, shaking the very foundations of their conventional world. Jessica, recognizing the spark in their eyes, engages in a challenging mission to build a skatepark for these budding skateboarders. As the narrative unfolds, Prerna is faced with a daunting choice – to surrender to societal norms or to chase her dream of competing in the National Skateboarding Championships.
