There Should be Rules (2016) 14

Sweden | 2016 | 89 min.

Mia and Mirjam are 14 years old and live in a dead boring town – there's not even an airport. They are not grown up, but are working on it. Mirjam jumps the gun on adult life and starts an affair with an older man – he says he loves her, but the facade is breaking. Mia has a dad who drinks a little bit too much. Luckily they have each other and Karl, their super smart friend who knows almost everything.
