Dramatic scenes take place in a youth centre in Fittja, Stockholm. Someone wants to join in and play but isn't allowed. Someone is crying and someone is teasing. Someone is finally called a friend. Wanted to be Friends is a film that is completely on the children's side. With a camera that is consistently on level with the children, it immediately feels like being six years old again - with all the big emotional fluctuations that entails.

The animated film is a series of tales about animal life, friendship and being close. A declaration of love; the relationship between young and old, and about the desire to go on wonderful, fantastic adventures. It is produced for the youngest audience and their parents. Based from Lena Sjöbergs highly acclaimed book with the same name.

Holly plays basketball at school with her best friend Ramtha. Two boys, Jonny and Daniel, challenge them to a girls against boys game. When Holly and Ramtha is winning, Daniel pulls down Holly’s pants in front of everybody... A clay-animation short film.
