Be Prepared

In 'Be Prepared', Vera, a Russian girl in the suburbs, struggles to fit in with her peers who have more affluent lifestyles. Her single mother can only afford to send her to a budget-friendly Russian summer camp, where Vera hopes to find belonging. However, the camp is not what she expected, filled with cool girl drama, endless Russian history lessons, and primitive outhouses. Through beautifully drawn and honest storytelling, Vera's experiences highlight the challenges of fitting in and finding one's place.
