1982 Stockholm: Bobo and Klara are 13-year-old girls ostracized by their peers for their love of punk rock. Androgynous, with short hair and baggy clothes, they endure the wrath of condescending teen boys who play in a rock band called Iron Fist at their youth center. The girls start their own band to irritate the boys, though neither girl knows how to play music. Bobo feels neglected by her single mother and uses punk as a means of escape. Klara is angry and political and writes sardonic lyrics as her creative outlet.
