Dammit, we've almost missed out on this gem, a very different kind of coming-of-age story - and the first non-fiction feature of Danish filmmaker Jeppe Rønde - which is inspired by the true story of a massive outbreak of teen suicides in Bridgend County, Wales.

“Between December 2007 and January 2012 seventy-nine suicides were officially committed in the area. Most of the victims were teenagers, they hanged themselves and left no suicide notes. Danish documentary filmmaker Jeppe Rønde followed the teenagers from the area for six years and wrote the script based on their life stories.“

Watch the intense trailer below.
