Show Me Love

1 hr. 29 min. | Drama, Comedy, Romance | N/A

Sixteen-year-old Agnes lives with her parents and younger brother in perhaps the most sleepy town in Sweden. The family moved here a year and a half ago, but the girl in a closed way still didn’t make friends. She doesn’t fit in with local teens and spends most of her time at home listening to music and writing her secret blog on the computer. Agnes is in love, but only she and the computer know about the girl's secret passion…

Agnes' peer Elin is a blonde rebel, one of the school's most popular girls. There are various languages ​​about it, but in reality it is still innocent. Her round shape just rushes from her tight shirt, and she herself from a terribly boring town that restricts her freedom. One evening, she and her older sister, looking for entertainment, stumble upon a really grainy party - Agnes' sixteenth birthday party. Coincidentally, the sisters learn Agnes's secret and mock it brutally. But soon Elin begins to regret what he did…

"Show Me Love" is an exciting story about the lives of modern teenagers, about the desires and hopes, about the pain and joy that love brings, about the tragic experiences of a difficult period of puberty. And about the courage to admit that you are not like everyone else…
