Synopsis
Two girls, Ari and Oona, dream of breaking free. In their families, nobody feels, and nobody talks. Ari's mother refuses to admit that her kids have grown up, and her brother terrorizes the family. Lolita-like Ari makes up for the affection she misses at home by having sex with grown up men and vying for the attention of the mysterious, black-clad Oona. For her part, Oona feels guilty about her Dad's suicide, practices cutting and expresses her violent fantasies in wild and dark charcoal paintings. Following their instincts, the two girls go on a manhunt. The girls' friendship helps Oona externalize her anger and allows Ari to gain a sense of self-respect at last. But then Ari starts having an affair with Oona's hated uncle Lukas. When Oona catches them red-handed one day, she is deeply hurt and withdraws into her shell again. Both girls realize that they've only one last chance to save their friendship.
