A THOUSAND TIMES STRONGER
(TUSN GÅNGER STARKARE)
Signe is a quiet and contemplative fifteen year old. She’s a good girl who gets top marks on all her exams and makes absolutely no fuss. Not in the classroom and not outside of it. She’s the kind of girl you can always count on, but the kind of girl you’d be unlikely to remember years from now.
Signe’s school is like any other school, complete with the usual social groupings of the cool and the nerds. We see the usual social games being played among the girls in the class, with the popular Mimi as the leader toward whom everyone is drawn. Saga is different and immediately distinguishes herself from the rest. She’s strong, outspoken and self-assured. Free of all pretence and unimpressed by status symbols, she doesn’t abide by the unwritten rules and social codes that dictate the existence of the other students. Slowly life in Signe’s class is changing.
But what happens when someone refuses to play by the rules?
