    Great and very sincere European movie
    I watched this movie last night and I think it's just wonderful! A very sincerely narrated story about a girl of 15 who is becoming an adult and is beginning to learn herself and her sexuality. The movie is also about Sonja's loneliness, she doesn't seem to understand each other with anyone except for the girl she is in love with. Lots of young people at Sonja's age feel lonely and not understood but it's even worth and so much more difficult if you are gay and you're not sure that the others would be tolerant enough to understand that. The actress played Sonja's character very sincerely although it seems to be her very first movie. The movie is very true to life, many characters can easily be recognized from our own experience as well as the situations they are in, but still the movie is not superficial at all. It addresses very serious topics without being too primitive or too superficial. I would recommend it to everyone who likes thoughtful but not thrilling cinema!
