In her feature debut, director Elena Trapé presents an honest and realistic portrayal of adolescence, the period in which values like friendship, honesty and purity are still meaningful and possible.

Trapé's characters, played by amateur actresses, challenge the clichéd depiction of teens fuelled by hedonism, drugs, sex and irresponsibility. The girls cherish their friendships and sense of belonging to a group: a feeling that will drive them to a dangerous plan of uncertain consequences.

In Blog, Trapé has crafted a truthful and fresh portrait of youths who refuse to be stereotyped and she reminds the viewer of the strength of innocence.

A fine example of new Spanish cinema.
