A tender coming-of-age story about a young man discovering his identity and first love against the backdrop of 1980s punk rock and social upheaval.

It’s November 1989 and the world is changing. So is Jarle, who attends Kongsgård High School in Stavanger. He plays the guitar/lead singer in a local punk band, has a great girlfriend, and has the coolest best friend. But it's all about to change when Yngve enters the classroom.
