About the movie

'Cheer Up' takes us into the teenage lives of a team of cheerleaders from the Arctic Circle in Finland, who always seem to place last. They struggle to improve, and try their best to look perfect doing it, but really, teenage life can be tough for these girls. For Patricia, Aino and Miia, finding out who they are, where they belong and what family means is much more important than any trophy. A universal story about teenagers, the film embraces the inner conflicts these young women face at such an important turning point in their lives. Win or lose, cheerleading for them is a second family and an opportunity to learn about life, its pitfalls and success, sorrows and joy.
