As friendship, first crushes and identity collide, the emotional chaos of puberty becomes physically visible, turning everyday life into an unpredictable adventure.
Puberty is awkward. In 5th grade, it’s impossible to hide. When confident new girl Clara turns up at school, lifelong best friends Johanne and Thilde suddenly find themselves questioning everything they thought they knew about each other, friendship, identity and growing up. When they end up in a band together for the biggest night of the school year emotions spiral, and puberty begins spilling into the world around them. Johanne bursts into flames. Clara crackles with thunder and lightning. Thilde literally melts under the pressure. Their bodies are changing, their friendships are shifting, and rehearsals become as chaotic as adolescence itself. Funny, heartfelt and brutally honest, IN BETWEEN is a coming-of-age dramedy about surviving the years when nothing makes sense anymore - not even your own emotions.
