    Mall Girls

    Kasia ROSLANIEC 2009 Poland Fiction color 82min Polish 35mm
    Alicja is a newcomer and an outsider, an ordinary, conservatively attired teenager who quickly finds herself mocked by the sexualized, hip group of school girls who essentially walk the walk and talk the talk, both at school and in the streets. Crude, belligerent, cocky and fearless, this group of fourteen-year-olds soon starts to make Alicja’s life a living hell. Next to them, Alicja looks plain and commonplace, but it is not long before she is slowly invited into the group, undergoing a tough initiation along the way. She soon discovers why her new friends look so trendy and stylish: they hang around the local malls after school and gave strangers casual blow jobs. They money earned allows them to buy the latest in fashionable jeans and cellphones. The choice Alicja faces is stark ─ to become part of the group and be accepted, or to try to go her own way. When she meets a shy, introverted boy, she finds herself in the middle of power play for her emotions: as the leader of her gang reaches her out to her for affection, her male love interest struggles with his feelings for her.
