Smalltown Girl

Schoolmates Nore and Jonna meet again in their early 20s and, after a drunken night out, decide to move in together. Life is fun in the shared apartment and includes a lot of sex and partying. In conversations, though, it becomes clear that "schoolyard bitch" Nore was really an over­whelmed young girl who was suffering abuse.

Jonna comes to realise that her bullying at the time wasn't without consequences. But, above all, Nore doesn't want to be a victim. She refuses to be afraid, refuses to be careful. Isn't that what freedom means? In Nore's stories, the young women visit the past and Nore starts looking at her younger self from a new perspective. The possibility of an honest friendship emerges and is also a way for Nore to deal with what she has experienced.
