by Lisa Siwe Sweden 2008 35 mm 90 min. OV Engl.+Germ. ST
Jenna is 14 years old, and all she should really have to worry about are her breasts that just never start growing, or why she is not as popular as Ullis, or what she should do to make Sakke fall in love with her, or at least discover her existence. But life is not that simple, as Jenna’s mother is sick from cancer. On top of everything, Jenna and her mother are forced to move in with Jenna’s annoying grandmother when the mother’s condition suddenly deteriorates.
Everything sucks and life goes on somewhere else, namely at a party at Ullis’ place. And although Jenna is too afraid to go there, she makes up her mind to go – to Sakke with the beautiful eyes. With Ullis by her side, Jenna throws herself into a world of parties, booze, and boys.
