Stockholm 1982: A film about Bobo, Klara and Hedvig, three 13-year old girls who roam the streets. Who are brave and tough and strong and weak and confused and weird. Who have to take care of themselves way too early. Who heat fish fingers in the toaster when mum is at the pub.
Pixieish, mohawk-sporting Klara (Mira Grosin) and her best friend Bobo (Mira Barkhammar) are 13-year-old rebels looking for a cause.
Despite having no instruments - or discernible musical talent - the two put all their energy into forming an all-girl punk band, even though everybody says that punk is dead.
They recruit their shy, classical guitar-playing God loving schoolmate Hedvig (Liv LeMoyne) as the third wheel.
With tender affection for his young characters and the period in which his film is set, Moodysson paints an ebullient and sharply observant portrait of DIY spirit and growing up different.
It's wonderful to have a friend, wonderful to play an instrument without knowing how, wonderful to set fire to an old statue, wonderful to have the most annoying parents in the world, wonderful to throw up on someone's records, wonderful to be booed and mocked, wonderful to be the best.
Casual tickets are $14 including coffee cakes and chatting.
