It shows what we as young people look for in a film, a realistic representation of young life through it’s natural beauties and unintended tragedies.”

An immediately engaging delight, Alli Haapasalo’s (Love and Fury) candid, spirited, funny, buoyant drama follows a trio of Finnish teenage girls exploring desire and first love.
