It's the eighties and Bobo, Klara and Hedvig are three lgirls from Stockhom between the tender ages of 12 and 13. While their classmates prance around with long tresses and leotards performing sickening dance routines on stage regularly, they decide to cut their hair drastically short and form a band - despite the fact that only one of them is remotely musical and even she is certainly not used to playing rock music. They go against all the criticism from their peers, who insist that punk is dead and that being in a band is what boys do, and carry on their dreams, supporting one another and gaining the confidence to reach for the stars because they are sure, deep down, that they could very well become the best punk group around.
'We Are The Best' is a touching musical drama based on the graphic novel 'Never Goodnight' by Coco Moodysson. The film adaptation has been directed and written by the author's husband Lukas Moodysson ('Lilya 4-Ever', 'Together', 'Show Me Love') and it has so far won several awards at various film festivals such as Tokyo International, Reykjavik International, Göteborg and Philadelphia. It is set to be released on April 18th 2014.
