It's the late 1950s in up-state New York. A group of teenage girls, abused by men, mocked by teachers and subjugated by society, decide to seize destiny in their own hands and form a gang. From small acts of rebellion and revenge the gang slowly moves on to more complex crimes, culminating in a shocking deed that will tear the lives of its members apart. From the Palme d’or winning director of ‘The Class’.
