| | Notes | This is an enjoyable film about a young girl (14) who is in love with another girl (16) at school. The older girl is really into boys so it seems until she has time for reflection and realises she loves the other girl. They literally come out of the closet after locking themselves in the school toilet. During the time that the younger girl, Elin, is being ostracised by the rest of the school her only friend is a girl in a wheelchair. But when the friend is the only (genuine) person to turn up at her birthday party Elin is extremely rude to her. She takes her revenge by telling the rest of the school that Elin is a lesbian. It's not a very positive portrayal especially since Elin still comes over as an attractive personality. So one might conclude that disability is sacrificed to sexual orientation.
