The language is direct and ironic, with stories, vocals, and messages that become an integral part of the story. At its core is a question that everyone faces sooner or later: who will we be when we grow up?

An honest portrait of today's adolescence

The choice not to use a script makes FOMO more like a documentary than a fiction. The kids share their experiences of school days, holidays, disappointments, and first responsibilities, without an outside voice explaining their feelings.

The editing alternates intimate moments with ensemble scenes, with smartphone screens ever-present. It's a way of portraying Generation Z that forgoes judgment: there are no good guys or bad guys, just kids searching for their own path and facing the fear of being left behind.

The soundtrack, composed by Voga and enriched by an unreleased track by Ariete , accompanies the story and brings it closer to the language of social media. This is no minor detail: the music is part of the story, not just background music.

Why see it?

FOMO opts for realism : unscripted, with handheld cameras and natural light, to narrate the transition to adulthood without judgment. It's a portrait of today's adolescence, designed to speak to kids without telling them how they should feel.
