Young Love (2001)

Jukka, 13, is coached in photography by his openly-gay art teacher. With his dead father's old camera, Jukka sees Johanna, a beautiful girl in her early twenties, being physically abused by her stepfather. With help from the local fire department, Jukka comes to her rescue. He quickly befriends the girl, who works in a nearby supermarket, claims to become her manager, and enters her in a beauty contest.
