Meaning of The Title and Alternative Titles
The original title of the film, Fucking Åmål, refers to the girls' feelings about their smalltown home: in a key scene one of the girls shouts in desperation "varför måste vi bo i fucking jävla kuk-Åmål" (which roughly translates to "why do we have to live in fucking bloody cock-Åmål"). The title, however, caused problems in other countries, and so alternative, neutral names were chosen by local distributors: Raus aus Åmål ("getting out of Åmål"), Descubriendo el Amor ("discovering love"), Amigas de Colégio ("school friends"), Láska je láska ("love is love"), and Покажи мне любовь (Pokazhi mne lyubov, "show me love").
