Alena’s life is far from simple. The minute she arrives at her new high school, Filippa and some of the other girls devote their time to bullying her incessantly. Her best friend, Josefin, can’t bear to see her suffering and prepares to take drastic measures, even though she’s been dead for a year. Bullying, teen angst and the dangers of homophobia take a bloody, spectral shape in this cautionary tale of a society not allowing a girl to be who she wants to be . Alena is adapted from a best-selling graphic novel.

This film contains scenes of graphic violence.
