To celebrate graduating from high school, friends Ira, Malin and Ka go on a road trip through Italy. Along the way, they meet the mysterious backpacker Zoe. When their car breaks down, the four end up in a seemingly abandoned mountain village. Far from civilisation, their parents' expectations and their original plans for the future, they begin to test the limits of their newfound freedom. This mystical drama deals with the self-discovery of a young generation in a world that, on the one hand offers countless possibilities, but on the other is marred by many crises. DEAD GIRLS DANCING is a thoroughly successful feature film debut by the talented director Anna Roller.
