225:(2015) is a 15-minute Icelandic film that tells the story of 14-year-old Sofia, who is being bullied by a popular girl clique at school. One day Sofia decides to fight back and the girls see her in a new light. She is invited to join the girls as they attend a party. Nervous, Sofia decides to take her best friend Einar with her to the party which is being hosted by the most popular girl of all. At the party, the girls challenge Sofia to join them in completing the rainbow challenge – where each girl puts on a different shade of lipstick, and all girls then place their lips once on a boy, leaving him with a rainbow pattern on his penis. Two eighth grade boys are in a room, passed out from being given too much alcohol. She is to add her color and take a selfie of it as proof to the other girls. She is stunned to discover one of the boys is Einar.
