Apflickorna
She Monkeys
When 15-year-old Emma joins a local riding club, she meets Cassandra.
They initiate a relationship filled with physical and psychological challenges and Emma does whatever it takes to master the
rules of the game. Lines are crossed and the stakes get higher and higher. Despite this, Emma cannot resist the intoxicating
feeling of total control. Meanwhile, Emma‘s curious and innocent seven-year-old sister Sara is prematurely spurred to confront
the treacherous frontiers of sexuality and womanhood on her own.
