Synopsis: Since 12-year-old Elvira’s (Lundgren) best friend is sick, she must go to holiday camp alone. Water damage makes her room unliveable, and she has to bunk with Meja (Fogelström) and Bea (Hovsepyan) in Room 213. Nobody has opened the door to the stuffy room in years, and now strange things begin happening. Overnight, some of the girls’ things disappear. Henny, a loner, claims seriously that the camp is haunted. And then a page of Elvira’s diary turns up, with a message in a stranger’s handwriting.
Review: The story is about the strength of friendships to deal with difficult situations. The summer friendship is sometimes weak until they notice to trust and support each other makes them stronger. This is the basic moral of many teenies movies. This one involves also kind of flirting scenes with 12-years old kids; hide and seek games exactly where they are not allowed to go; runaway in the woods; common camp holidays scenes.  The acting is not authentic nor natural. Really set to make sure we don't miss the scary scene or the romantic scene. This makes not my style, even not the movie I would recommend to kids. But I may be too drastic.  At least I know now that camp holidays are common in Sweden.
