5/10
light Norwegian comedy
23 December 2011
Alma is a high school girl in this offbeat comedy from Norway. It is apparent from the opening scene where the lead is on the floor next to a phone masturbating that this is very different from most teen films. Mom comes home and Alma hangs up from the sex hot line. She later explains the phone bill, telling her mother that she is horny; this is obviously told from a woman's perspective, the director is Jannicke Systad Jacobsen.

Alma becomes a social outcast after accusing Artur, a classmate, of exposing himself and poking her in the thigh. His denials are believed and she escapes reality through fantasy, sexual and otherwise. even her best friends, Sara and Ingrid, doubt her story.

Helene Bergsholm is very likable in the lead role as Alma but I didn't laugh much and the premise wears thin quickly.
