When 15 year-old Alma (Helene Bergsholm) complains about being "horny" in the Norwegian comedy Turn Me On, Dammit!, she's not just trying to shock her mother. If anything, the word understates the 15 year-old small town girl's preoccupation with sex.
One of the film's first scenes finds Alma in the throes of vigorous phone sex on the kitchen floor. Director Jannicke Systad Jacobsen portrays Alma as having an insatiable appetite for self-pleasure, and a tendency to fantasize indiscriminately about the people around her. Cute classmate Artur (Matias Myren) usually plays the leading role in her erotic daydreams, but even her middle-aged boss and a female frenemy make guest appearances.
