Despite the support of a loving family,sixteen year-old Agnes (Rebecka Liljeberg)feels depressed and lonely in Åmal,the small,dull Swedish town they ‘ve moved to. Attracted to the pretty,popular Elin (Alexandra Dahlstrom), she feels even more isolated as she – and Elin – struggle to understand the nature of their feelings.Flawlessly directed by Lukas Moodysson (Lilja 4-Ever)from his own script,and with brilliant performances from the young protagonists, this is a delicate and realistic portrayal of awakening sexuality and teenage preoccupations,and a wholly satisfying romantic drama with a happy ending.
