After drinking the curious nectar that drips from a mysterious plant, best friends Kim, Bella and Momo magically transform into boys. Geeky girls by day and popular boys by night they find themselves living in two completely different worlds. The thrill of experiencing life as the opposite sex soon wears off for Bella and Momo, but being a boy becomes addictive for Kim as he experiments with his sexuality and the possibility of first love with bad boy Tony. Friendship between the three girls is tested as a boy's life is not all it's made out to be. (Peccadillo Pictures)

A rather interesting drama about adolescence from a slightly different point of view. I would dare to compare this film to magical realism. Growing up, the three girls get entangled in ome pretty absurd situations, while in real life you would find about just as believable as a junkie living in a van on the street next to your apartment. However, it is shot in quite an interesting way and some situations were rather enjoyable. It serves well as a small-scale film with a message.

Quite an interesting drama about the problems associated with growing up and the search for one's own identity. Although the supernatural element in the form of the intoxicating nectar from the strange flower seemed at least awkward to me at first, as a tool for self-awareness, it can ultimately be accepted. Visually, it is quite a good film, with great music that contributes to the atmosphere.
