Turn Me On, Dammit! is a Norwegian coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed by Jannicke Systad Jacobsen. The film is based on the novel "Turn Me On, Goddammit" by Olaug Nilssen. The story revolves around Alma, a 15-year-old girl, who lives in the small town of Skoddeheimen. Alma is struggling with her sexual desires, and she fantasizes about her schoolmate Artur.
Alma's sexual desires often get her into trouble, and when she tells her friends about her fantasies, they dismiss her as a liar. However, when Artur finally shows some interest in Alma, she is over the moon. But when Alma tries to pursue Artur, she faces a series of setbacks, and her sexual frustration starts to manifest in the form of uncontrollable urges.
The film portrays Alma's journey as she tries to navigate through the complex world of teenage sexuality while dealing with peer pressure, social exclusion, and a culture of repression. Through her character, the film critiques the conservative norms of the small town and the restrictive attitudes towards teenage sexuality. The movie was praised for its honest and humorous portrayal of teenage sexuality and was well-received by critics.
