Girl Picture
[Tytöt tytöt tytöt], directed by Alli Haapasalo, Finland 2022, 100'
- Awarded at the Sundance Film Festival, Girl Picture is a story filled with youthful energy that talks about love, friendship and discovering one’s sexuality.
- Mimmi and Rönkö are curious teenagers. The girls are best friends and have no secrets from each other, sharing all their joys and sorrows. They don’t have much of an agenda either, except that they want to live life to the fullest and seize every opportunity for an adventure.
- Such spontaneity and unpredictability are traits unfamiliar to their peer Emma. The girl’s everyday life is subordinated to training and a future career as a figure skater. The meeting of the three teenagers will open new possibilities for each of them, especially when so many emotions are involved.
- Finnish director Alli Haapasalo’s film is an energetic and passionate story about the uneasy entry into adulthood. The bittersweet initiation story portrays the moment in life when one doesn’t stop for a moment and feels everything much more intensely.
