==Plot== 17-year-old student Agnes lives in a Swedish town with her family. She often feels overshadowed by her older sister, Julia, who has a fun personality, is popular, has tons of friends, and dates a boyfriend that every girl dreams of. Yet, Agnes deeply admires all these qualities in her sister. However, everything changes when Julia dies in a car accident after leaving a party and arguing with her boyfriend, Noel. From that point on, Agnes starts mingling with Julia's social circle, even going so far as to imitate her in every way from wearing the same clothes to pursuing a romantic relationship with Noel. This begins to stir rejection from those closest to Julia, including their own parents.
