Young Stella stands on the verge of adolescence – navigating friendships, nurturing crushes, dreaming of what’s to come. But when she begins to realize that her older sister, a popular high-schooler and star skater, is harboring a dark secret, Stella is torn between seeking help and keeping her sister’s trust. The remarkable performances and undeniable chemistry between the two young leads, Rebecka Josephson and Amy Deasismont – aka Swedish teen pop sensation Amy Diamond – provide the heart of this emotionally engaging Swedish drama.
