Elin is beautiful, brash and popular, but desperate for excitement. Agnes is friendless and depressed, and secretly in love with Elin.

Show Me Love is a tender and funny portrait of teen angst and confusion, and it introduced Lukas Moodysson as a director with unique sensitivity to the sweet agonies of being young and in love.
