Early adolescence throws overwhelming difficulties into the path of any teen – but what of a teenager forced to contend with the emotional fallout from her mother’s pending death? That’s the question posed by this sensitively wrought Swedish-language drama helmed by director Lisa Siwe<\/a>. Adapted from the popular novel by Johanna Thydell<\/a>, the picture stars Josefine Mattsson<\/a> as Jenna, a fourteen-year-old forced to grow up instantly, as the main assist to her cancer-stricken mother, Liv (Annika Halin<\/a>).

The new move fails to bode well for Jenna; racked with grief at the thought of her mother’s passing, she throws herself into full-scale rebellion, flirting with heavy drinking, men, parties and general indignation unfairly directed at Ingrid.<\/p>\n Lisatud 06.07.2012, 739 482 214b, AKA Glowing Stars<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Young adolescent girl Jenna’s mother is dying, while at the same time Jenna is turning form a young girl into a young woman.
