Certificate number	200135
Date	2011-03-09
Classification	Allowed from age 7
Grounds for decision	Framställningen skildrar två flickors början och utveckling av en nära relation innehållande tester av utmaningar och gränser. Framställningen innehåller några inslag av tung och ångestladdad stämning i för karaktärerna utsatta situationer samt ett inslag där en flicka hetsas att slå en annan flicka med en grep vilket bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet hos barn under 7 år.
