Fanny, a new and somewhat naive student, finds it challenging to fit in at her high school, where popularity revolves around appearances and social media influence. After a particularly embarrassing experience, she seeks connection and teams up with Lilja, a confident and seemingly untouchable classmate. Their unexpected friendship launches them on a fast-paced journey outside the confines of school, as they attempt to climb the social ladder. However, they soon discover that achieving status comes at a cost and risk losing themselves along the way.
