Bobo, Klara and Hedvig are three best friends from Stockholm on the cusp of being teenagers and, like most pre-adolescents, they're all about experimenting with their identity. While their school friends are all about hairstyles and getting involved in dance shows, these girls are all about cutting their hair off and getting involved in punk music. They decide to form a band in spite of the fact that only one of their trio can actually play any music and even she is taking some persuading to get involved with the girls' punk aesthetic. But in the end, other people's criticism and remarks that 'punk is dead' go disregarded, and even when they are told that only boys form bands, they are determined to set out to be the people they want to be. Each other's support is all they need to follow their dreams and become the best punk rockers in the world.
This heart-warming music drama is based on Coco Moodysson's graphic novel 'Never Goodnight'. 'We Are The Best' is directed and adapted by Lukas Moodysson ('Lilya 4-Ever', 'Together', 'Show Me Love') - Coco's husband - and it has already become a sensation with accolades won at several international film festivals. It is due for release on April 18th 2014.
