The Ketchup Effect (Hip Hip Hora!)
2004 · Movie · 91 min. · Sweden
Sofie is an innocent 13 year old preparing to start junior high. Together with her two best friends she is making plans for her fabulous new grown up life - she wants to accelerate her education and growth and go to all the parties and get to know all the cute boys at school and maybe find a boyfriend. Hearing that there is to be a party at the home of the school heart throb, to celebrate the beginning of term, she gets herself and her friends an invitation. Stealing liquor from her father she mixes a lethal cocktail which they all consume as a pre-party drink. Continuing to drink excessively at the party she loses control and disorientated is taken to a bedroom by a shy 14 year old boy. Egged on by his mates he unsuccessfully asks her for a blow-job (something she quite clearly knows nothing about!). Recognising her naivety he then asks if she'll give him a hand-job instead. This leads to a painful conclusion to their first sexual experience.
