Girl Picture (Finnish: Tytöt tytöt tytöt, lit.'girls girls girls') is a 2022 Finnish coming-of-age film directed by Alli Haapasalo[2] from a screenplay by Ilona Ahti and Daniela Hakulinen. It premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Audience Award in the World Dramatic Competition.[3][4] It was released in Finland on 14 April 2022.[5]

Three young girls at the cusp of womanhood, Mimmi, Rönkkö and Emma, try to defy the persistent winter darkness in Finland by trying to draw their own contours. In the process, they move between dreams, reality, friendship and relationships, and try to make sense of the whole mess. In three consecutive Fridays, two of them experience the earth moving effects of falling in love, while the third goes on a quest to find something she's never experienced before: pleasure.
