Turn Me On

The charm of small towns lies in that smallness itself – so if you don't want to be publicly pilloried, you should know what you can afford to get away with, most importantly, you should consider the consequences. Which, of course, is not in your power when puberty and sexual desires are running rampant within you like a Spartan hooligan with a Slavia fan, so you won't avoid public shaming anyway (even if you’re in the right). An appealing Norwegian addition to the teen genre, which sets itself apart from similar British productions, for example (which I like very much) by not driving its heroes into the biggest possible adversity or to the very depths of tolerability, but describes in a very imaginative and appealing way the life of a prematurely (though considering today's times...) sexually initiated girl, for whom even her own mother finds no sympathy.
