Coming-of-age drama about three friends in the midst of emotional chaos. Drama, Coming-of-Age film / FI 2022 / Alli Haapasalo / 101 min / OV + German subtitle / PG12
Rönkkö finally wants to have real sex. Mimmi is already one step ahead in principle, but otherwise pretty angry. Together, the two best friends work in a smoothie store. One day, when ambitious figure skater Emma orders a drink, Mimmi's toughness crumbles, and one party later, she's already letting Emma show her the triple lutz. Between laser gun duels and commitment anxiety, the three teens set out to find love.
Finnish director Alli Haapasalo's wild girlfriend movie is an authentic and stirring account of what it feels like to be young. It's about an irrepressible hunger for life and the desire for super-good sex, about setbacks and injuries - and the feeling of wanting to be so close to another person that it's not enough just to touch their skin.
"Girls Picture" and its fabulous trio of actresses have already been celebrated at the Berlinale and Sundance, where the film won the Audience Award.
