Lollipop Monster
Ari and Oona attend the same school. Ari, reminiscent of Lolita, is a blonde with a pouty demeanor, living in a vibrant world but feeling stifled by her mother’s insistence on treating her like a child. In contrast, Oona, who has an artistic flair, dresses in black and is regarded as an adult by her father, an artist. The dynamic shifts when Oona’s father takes his own life after discovering his wife’s infidelity with his brother, Lukas. This tragedy leads Oona to self-harm, but she unexpectedly forms a friendship with Ari. Meanwhile, Ari’s eagerness to explore her sexuality backfires when she begins an affair with Oona’s uncle, who has recently moved in with Oona’s mother.
