See the films the platforms disagree about most →In a small, boring Swedish town, two teenage girls from different social circles experience an unexpected connection. The popular one, as a cruel joke, kisses an isolated and openly lesbian girl at a party. The act triggers a confusion of feelings that neither expects, leading them to question their identities and desires.
