For the protagonists of both films, the development of an adult identity is inextricably linked to the development of a cosmopolitan outlook. In the face of a cosmopolitan encounter, both protagonists need to acknowledge the limitations of their initial disposition towards difference. One needs to go beyond the superficiality of her position as a consumer of cosmopolitanism—an ‘aesthetic’ or ‘banal’ cosmopolitan—while the other must let go of prejudice and develop tolerance and acceptance of Otherness. The willingness to be changed by an encounter with difference, then, plays a key role in both characters’ transition to adulthood. However, the two films also underscore the limitations of such an evolution, testing the limits of cosmopolitanism through their almost exclusive focus on privileged points of view that reproduce the same ‘Othering’ dynamics that the protagonists put on display through the films.
