How it feels

A documentary about a group of girls in 4th grade and their friendships. It follows them at school and on a camp trip where small dramas about loyalty and status play out. The film shows how serious and important these relationships are to them, with boys only a distant concern.

What happens

Pigerne i 4.b er en børnefilm instrueret af Vibe Mogensen efter manuskript af Vibe Mogensen og Anders Riis-Hansen. Hjerteveninde, stenveninde, bedsteveninde - afgørende begreber for pigerne i 4.b. Denne dokumentarfilm handler om venindeskab på godt og ondt. Umærkeligt følger filmholdet pigerne i skolen og på lejr, hvor store dramaer udspiller sig. Dramaer med klassiske temaer og en arketypisk rollebesætning: prinsessen, rivalinden, hjælperen, budbringeren og alle de andre. Drengene eksisterer, men langt ude i følelsernes horisont. Forholdet til veninderne, dét er alvor. Det er dét, det hele handler om. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
