Summer vacation is over and 13-year-old Sofie is preparing for junior high. Along with her two best friends, she’s busy making plans for her fabulous new grown-up life – parties, new friends and cute guys. They are especially excited about getting to know Mouse, and his cool friends Sebbe and Jens. When they are finally invited to a party, Sofie passes out after drinking some booze she snitched from her parents. Mouse and his friends take advantage of the situation by taking a series of compromising photos of her. Soon Sofie is branded the school slut, and on top of struggling to clear her reputation, Sofie realizes that she can’t even rely on her two best friends, who are equally torn by the situation – should they choose their new gang or stand by their old friend? THE KETCHUP EFFECT is a film about friendship and love. It will shake you up, while at the same time being a warm and entertaining portrait of youngsters today and their environment. ”I wanted to portray the hell of teenage life the way it really is,”says writer/director Teresa Fabik. ”The girls’ first experiences of drinking, love, sex and how friendships are tested to the hilt on a daily basis. I just wanted to describe three girls’ first steps into adulthood.”
