Everything Becomes So Much More is a short film introducing the audience to the lives of three teenage girls aged between 18 and 20, living in Oslo, who have all been diagnosed with ADHD. Each girl presents her own experiences and perceptions, often recounting stories of conflict and the breaking of social conventions. As rates of ADHD in Europe continue to rise – doubling in the past decade in the case of Norway – the film touches on the sociological aspect of the diagnosis in relation to changing cultural norms and attempts to find a different, more subjective, understanding.
