2004 | Documentary, Observation | Director: Liina Triškina-Vanhatalo

An intimate and fast-paced documentary-journal of two 18-year old girls.

Nele and Anneli are inseparable friends. One of them is a bit radical punk-girl, another above the average looking heart-breaker.

They are smart, but they do not obey the rules. They are energetic, open-minded and eager to express their thoughts loudly. They take life at its fullest, living for the present day, not for one to come. The film follows their last spring in high school together combining girls’ intimate and immediate video journal with precise, stylistically professional camerawork.
