This is a charming Swedish romance. Set in a high school in the early 80's, Oscar is a loner, and picked on by the class bully. When a new girl moves into his apartment block he finally finds a friend.
Of course this friend looks like a 12 year old girl, but is a couple of hundred years old, and of course a vampire. At this point I expect you to roll your eyes and move on, but please don't. This film manages to be a coming of age movie that's not too sappy, a low budget vampire film that's not too cheesy and has some almost intelligent things to say about love, friendship, and codependency.
