The extrovert, yet slightly naive Fanny (18) has just relocated to a new high school and is struggling to navigate the social hierarchy where status and likeability seems to be measured only by cute outfits, going to the right parties, and having enough followers. Fanny desperately tries to find acceptance but after a humiliating night, she decides to join forces with Lilja (18), the class’s unapproachable, yet confident outsider. The encounter with Lilja turns Fanny’s world upside down, marking the beginning of a whirlwind friendship journey between the two. With a defiant attitude and without looking back, the girls venture out of their high school microcosm and embarks on a fast-paced journey. But climbing the social ladder requires sacrifices, and the girls struggle to not lose themselves in the process.
