Girls Lost

Alexandra-Therese KEINING 2015 Finland, Sweden Fiction color 106min Swedish DCP
Kim, Bella and Momo, three bullied teenage girls, are going through the throes of finding themselves.

They come across a curious magical plant that, when consumed, transforms the girls temporarily into boys. Not only does their gender change, the world around them, and their response to it, is altered. Momo and Bella realize it’s merely a facade. For Kim, however, being a boy is much more, it offers her a sense of identity...
