Kontra (2024)

Overview

Fanny has just moved from the suburbs to start at a new high school north of Copenhagen. She is struggling to fit in as the school is dominated by a group of girls in her class. Fanny links up with the former queen bee of the group, Lilja, and together they form an alliance to do whatever it takes to be popular, get the same opportunities and be invited into the right circles. But the power struggle comes at a price, and what does it even mean to be popular if you don't have a friend you can trust? KONTRA is a raw and visual film about friendships, beauty ideals and hierarchies, by debut feature film director Jonas Risvig.
