The Film Stage by Jared Mobarak
Writer/director Alexandra-Therese Keining‘s adaptation of Jessica Schiefuer‘s 2011 August Prize-winning (Sweden) young adult novel Pojkarna (translated as The Boys but changed to Girls Lost for international release) is deliciously dark and profoundly vital.

In the 23rd century, a former special forces operative helps a mysterious woman who holds the key to saving Earth from a cosmic evil.
