Alena - (2015) - An Elite Kind Of Bullying

Alena and Josefin -True Friends.....Until The End...

Literally...

When Alena arrives at her new posh and elite boarding school, she does not quite adjust. In fact, she is somewhat of a misfit who is not rich enough to be treated as human by the Bully With The Bun And Pearl Earrings Filippa. 

Merciless. Vile. The Biggest C U Next Tuesday is Filippa, who believes wealth and beauty gives her clout over the school. Standard rules when it comes to the treatment of other students and peers applies to everybody, with no exception. Filippa is one of those girls that just takes it one step too far. She puts Alena in the middle of a non-consensual lesbian hazing incident in the girls' shower room and becomes unnerved at Alena's friendship with Fabienne, one of the cool girls, who takes a romantic liking to Alena. 

But Alena's old friend, Josefin, won't have any of that. She protects her best friend like a guard dog. You mess with Alena, you mess with Josefin. And trust me, you do not want to ever mess with Josefin.. 

But who is Josefin? What is her end game? Why is she seeking retribution? 

Sometimes friends drift apart. One friend wants to change while the other wants to stay the same and keep things just the way they are. I can back up that claim with what I have witnessed myself growing up. Two best friends who are attached to the hip, begin to experience life without each other as time goes on and they are subjected to a new environment. One wants to be with the popular crowd and no longer wishes to be held back. One forgets where they came from. But that is only a part of growing up. And the one that chooses to remain the same, often cannot recover from the loss of a friendship. The one that stays is more perceptive of the popular cliques and what their intentions truly are. There is an ugly dark soul behind their stylish buns and pearl earrings. The one that stays, warns the other that wants to part. That is what Josefin was trying to do for Alena and was obviously stopping at nothing to prove that to her. By terrorizing her bullies just as mercilessly as Alena was, Josepfin's actions convey to Alena, that she is not willing to let their friendship go and rest in peace. 

Rest In Peace...

Because Josefin is really dead. She took her own life. And she is the spirit that is protecting Alena from the big bad world of bullying..

Moral Of The Story...

True Friendship Can Never Rest In Peace...
