Hopelessly infatuated with her French teacher, Oslo teen Johanne pours her heart onto the page, detailing their close—possibly too close—relationship. Poring over this compulsively readable, potentially scandalous missive, her family faces several thorny questions: is this a diary or a novella? Has a line been crossed in real life? And should they try and get it published? This wise and compassionate tale of sexual awakening won the top prize at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival. (MK)
