When 17-year-old Agnes (Felicia Maxime) loses her sister (Zara Larsson) in a car crash, she begins to change, slowly emulating the style and extrovert attitude of her sister.
After the death of her brother, Michaela Hamilton wrote this story as a kind of therapy, and first-time director Sigge Eklund (who has several novels behind him) turns it into a capable, grounded teen drama that effectively illustrates the desperate nature of grief and mental health.
A good cast elevates the material, including Young Royals veterans Maxime and Edvin Ryding, and Ida Engvoll as a mother who finds the loss overwhelming.
