A 1980s Swedish coming-of-age comedy-drama following three teenage friends navigating the messy transition to adulthood through music, romance, and the darker realities of youth.

Three friends, Robban, Alexander and Kim has just left the compulsory school, and now they consider themselves grown-up and mature, being 16 years old. During the summer holiday they also get a bit of experience of the world: Robban becomes a full-time drug addict, Alexander plays in a rock band but leaves it and Kim is desperate to get the girl of his dreams.
