Alpha focuses on shame, and the way that a young person’s social status is built up. Is it possible to lose that status if you open up and show your true feelings? And how do you cope if you get rejected, is there any sense in revealing your feelings if rejection is all you get? Is it possible to remain a friend with someone who has hurt you deeply? In Alpha we meet a group of young friends who are trying to find answers to these questions and deal with the awkward situations they get into when growing up.

After over 100 years of independency, a new section is found in the constitution of Finland. It states that no-one over the age of 12 can serve as a member of parliament, minister or president. All grown-ups get fired and children rise to power. Finland becomes the first and only Children’s Republic in the whole world. In the centre of the action are two presidents, 11-year-old Lenni and 10-year-old Sofia. They take turns by the month but, at the same time, go to school just as all the other children.

The sidelines are filled with parents, some out of free will and some out of sense of duty, who otherwise would never meet. They have one thing in common; they want what’s best for their children – at all costs.

Hilda and Lo are best friends from childhood. Now they are 21 years old – and losers living together, without a study place.

This is a hilarious and bold story about friendship and feminism.
