A warm, character-driven coming-of-age ensemble about teenage male friendship, balancing youthful exuberance with the anxieties and disappointments of growing up.

Karri, Pete, André, Akseli and Joni dream, party, love and boast like only teenage males can. They're dealing with the same issues as every other young man — fears and hopes for future, disillusions and problems with parents.
