Show Me Love is an uncoventional, cliché-free story of the sexual self-discovery of two teenage schoolgirls who have the misfortune to live in a small Swedish town called Amal. Agnes has failed to make friends after a year of living there, and attempts made by her parents to increase her popularity only serve to heighten her loneliness and their misunderstanding. Adding to her isolation, Agnes has developed a massive crush on Elin, the most popular girl in the school. The film’s original title, Fucking Amal, was deemed a too risqué for English-speaking world and was altered to reflect one of its principal themes. Show Me Love was the number one film in 1998 at the box office in Sweden, Norway, and Finland, outrivaling even Titanic.
