We Are the Best

WE ARE THE BEST! is Lukas Moodysson's (Together, Show Me Love) adaptation of his wife Coco's graphic novel about three young misfits growing up in early '80s Stockholm.

With tender affection for his young characters and the period in which his film is set, Moodysson paints an ebullient and sharply observant portrait of DIY spirit and growing up different.
