Synopsis

Three young sisters — Laura, Mira and Steffi, aged sixteen, twelve and seven — are left to their own devices by the ever-absent mother in a small Swedish town. Their household is chaotic, mischievous and slightly unsanitary, but pretty happy. As the oldest, Laura assumes the role of a “matriarch” and takes care of her sisters; she is also the one most prone to melancholy and uncertainty about what’s to come. On the edge of childhood and adult life, towards which she was already pushed way too early, she feels a bit withdrawn among all the games and playful petty criminal activities, such as stealing food from stores and breaking into richer houses that have a pool. The reality is bound to start creeping in, and it comes in the form of a call from the social services who schedule a house visit. Laura then goes on a crusade to find a stand-in “mother” for the visit, all the while navigating a new unexpected friendship with a neighbor Hanna, who has her own reasons to strive for some playfulness in life.
