Angelina (Yussra El Abdouni) is like any other 17-year-old girl. She parties, smokes, hangs out with her best friend Fanny (Felicia Sjöström Nilsson) and with boring guys to pass the time. Just a tiny problem; Angelina is a serial killer. Even though she tries not to be.
Ingen ängel will premiere May 11 on Viaplay.
