"We Are the Best!" follows the story of Bobo, Klara, and Hedvig, three rebellious young girls living in 1980s Stockholm who form an unconventional punk band called "Fuckin' Life." Despite facing discouragement and ridicule from their peers and adults, the girls are determined to pursue their passion for punk music.

Bobo (14 years old) and Klara (13 years old) are best friends who are constantly ridiculed and dismissed by their classmates. Inspired by the punk subculture they discover, they decide to start a band, even though they don't have any musical skills or instruments. Bobo and Klara borrow a guitar and drum set from Bobo's older brother, and they recruit Hedvig, a shy and socially conservative Christian girl who plays classical guitar.

Initially, Hedvig is hesitant to join the band due to her contrasting beliefs and musical taste. However, she agrees to lend her guitar skills to Bobo and Klara, and they eventually form a strong bond. The girls practice relentlessly, even though their music sounds chaotic and unpolished. They pour their frustration and youthful energy into their compositions, often expressing their rebellious views and challenging societal norms.

As they navigate their teenage years, the girls face various personal struggles. Bobo deals with a distant single mother and a growing crush on a boy named Mats, who is involved in another, more popular punk band. Klara struggles with her emotions and feelings of inadequacy. Hedvig, despite her initial reluctance, starts exploring her rebellious side, clashing with her conservative religious parents.

Their music gains attention in the local punk scene, and the girls are invited to perform at a youth center. However, they face a setback when they realize they don't have the right look for the punk scene and are laughed at for their punk style. Yet, undeterred, they ultimately find acceptance within themselves and redefine punk on their own terms.

In the end, despite the challenges they face, the girls continue to play their raw and heartfelt music. They learn valuable life lessons about friendship, embracing individuality, and staying true to oneself. "We Are the Best!" portrays a heartwarming and empowering story of three young girls defying conventions and finding their voice through the power of punk music.
