materie 2004* - Norsk filminstitutt

A film about the toughest girls in the 9th grade. About loyalty, deceit and female power structures
at an age when everything is at stake.
Iselin and Mahsa are best friends. They've just discovered boys and how to flirt. They own the
world, and they don't care about school. But the two best friends fall out and join different
groups. We follow them in their search for their identity without each other.
The film illuminates a genuine female experience; how to be a girl. What's it like to stand alone
when your friends don't accept you? And how do you fit in when the norm is defined by a different
social class?
