Alli Haapasalo's delighful comedy drama tells the stories of three girls on the verge of adulthood. While Rönkkö attempts to have a satisfying sexual experience, her best friends Mimmi self-sabotages her own happiness with Emma, who must juggle between her budding romance and her athletic ambitions. The script by Ilona Ahti and Daniela Hakulinen is raw and authentic, and it beautifully captures the curiosity, vulnerability, and emotional intensity of the late teenage years. The dialogue is lively and the three ladies in the lead are terrific.
