Wanted to be Friends
2009, Swedish. Directed by Marika Heidebäck.
Scenes from a youth centre
Dramatic scenes take place in a youth centre in Fittja, Stockholm. Someone wants to join in and play but isn't allowed. Someone is crying and someone is teasing. Someone is finally called a friend. Wanted to be Friends is a film that is completely on the children's side. With a camera that is consistently on level with the children, it immediately feels like being six years old again - with all the big emotional fluctuations that entails.
