Seize the Fucking Day
Grip den føkkings dagen
Amalie is moving away from home to a studio apartment she’ll share with her best friend. Amalie has been accepted at the art class at high school and is finally starting a new and adult life. But nothing turns out as she expected. She is no longer the best in class at drawing and mum calls every single day being sad. And the one person that Amalie had counted on disappears just when she needs her the most.
A story about feeling lonely for the first time in life, about understanding the meaning of clichés, and about becoming your own best friend.
