InfoFrida would say it was her choice to be the class outsider. All the other kids at school agree - Frida is totally different. In the same school year as Frida, Marius does everything he can to be a success. When the two are paired up as study buddies, Marius sees it as another opportunity to show everyone what a great guy he is, but Frida has no intention of being helped or fixed by the class golden boy.
