New LGBT Film Girls Lost Might Just Be A 'Transgender Twilight'

Wolfe Video is at it again! The company that's responsible for releasing most of our favorite LGBT films is now bringing us Kiss Me writer/director Alexandra-Therese Keining's latest, Girls Lost, which tells the story of three best friends who find solace from bullying in a magic plant that turns them into young men. Through this supernatural revelation, the friends begin to explore their gender and sexual identities and how it affects and changes their realities. A press release for the film (based on Swedish novel Pojkarna by Jessica Schiefuerm) calls it a "kind of transgender Twilight (albeit much edgier)" and lists Ginger Snaps and Buffy the Vampire Slayer as influences, so consider us intrigued. Check out the quietly fantastical trailer here:

Clearly there's a lot to unpack here, and we're psyched to check it out this incredibly unique study in gender identity for ourselves. "In Girls Lost, fairy tale and imagination are mixed in a realistic depiction of what it’s like to grow up today, seen from a girl's perspective," states Keining in the release, "I wanted to portray gender as a fluid notion, not an absolute, and explore ideas about how gender influences how we move through the world and how we are treated by others."
