	SHE MONKEYS
	(APFLICKORNA)
	Sweden, 2011

Duration:	84 min
Director:	Lisa Aschan
Cast:	Mathilda Paradeiser, Linda Molin, Isabella Lindquist, Sergej Merkusjev, Adam Lundgren, Sigmund Hovind
Plot:	Story starts as 15-year-old Emma lands a competitive spot on a young women's equestrian acrobatics team and becomes a ward of her peer Cassandra. Obsessed with strength and control, Emma covets Cassandra's natural grace and poise, while Cassandra in turn, silently desires more than just Emma's discipline. The psychological states of their friendship intensify as the two jockey for the top position, and as loyalty is traded for unbridled power. Lisa Aschan's award-winning directorial debut digs between the cracks of human behavior to reveal the seemingly naive experience of girlhood as a feeding ground for underhanded brutality and rivalry.
