Twentysomething Liv (Johanne Milland, pictured right) has grown up on her family’s farm outside Copenhagen. She’s comfortable in her routine, tending her greenhouse. But then Andrea (Josephine Park, left) shows up, frantically trying to get to the city for a bachelorette party (for which she is dressed as a pussy). Liv is immediately drawn to Andrea and finds herself moving ever closer, even as her familiar circumstances shift almost before her eyes: her parents’ marriage is falling apart, as is her own relationship with her boyfriend Sebastian. It’s an engaging story, with Liv’s lesbian awakening only one piece of her coming into fully independent adulthood. Highly recommended.
