Now the two girls are planning a trip to Berlin, where there is a waxwork of Bill at Madame Tussauds. But the girlfriends have difficulty understanding that their families are more interested in their grades and their plans for the future. In an almost fly-on-the-wall way, Ina Holmqvist and Emelie Wallgren follow this pair of truly dedicated fans: teenage girls going through the period when you start to become a little grown up, although you still feel like a child.
