I Knew You Were Trouble

Directed By: Karen Varela
Synopsis

Jenny and Fiona, two 16-year-old girls, break into their classmate Orla’s house to steal her Taylor Swift tickets. Wearing balaclavas, pin her down. Orla quickly catches on. On Fiona’s orders, Jenny rummages through Orla’s phone for something incriminating; she finds more than a photo: there’s only one ticket. Jenny wavers between loyalty (telling Fiona and watching her snatch it) or staying silent and keeping it for herself
