Eng title: Kiss Bill

Doc I 2010 I 29 min I Swedish

Angela, 15, and Arina, 14, have been affected by the first love. Bill and Tom are the guys in their fantasies. They are front figures in the German band Tokio Hotel. Together Angela and Arina together dream away from school, untouched boys and a rain-gray Rågsved. When they are alone and nobody hears, they plan a trip to Germany, where Bill is like a wax doll. The goal of their pilgrimage becomes Madame Tussaud's wax cabinet in Berlin where they can hug Bill as long as they want.
