GIRL PICTURE, which will have its world premiere in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition, tells the story of two young women, Mimmi and Rönkkö who are best friends. They are there for each other and have each other’s back. Enter Emma, who has given her whole life to figure skating. Nothing gets between her and success. But when the girls meet, life opens new paths, and they all rocket in new directions. While Mimmi and Emma experience the earth-moving effects of first love, Rönkkö is on a quest to find pleasure. Three Fridays are all it takes to turn their worlds upside down.
