- Ari and Oona. Two 15-year-old girls, two dysfunctional families. Absolute opposites, yet somehow similar. No one listens, no one hears. Ari feels misunderstood and compensates for this by having sex with unknown men; Oona expresses the pain over her beloved father's suicide through self-mutilation and morbid drawings. Opposites attract. Ari is a blonde who paints herself up like a canary; Oona loves things as black as night. Their unlikely friendship helps them survive their families' hypocrisy.
