A bittersweet delight laced with some wonderful humour, this film sees three boys grow up fast as they search for freedom and a little bit of weed.
Zak and Seth have been abandoned by their mother in the country house of their grandfather, who recently died. Completely broke but with time on their hands, they join forces with friend Dany and decide to explore their new-found freedom, pushing their naivety and innocence to the limits, especially when they decide to buy some dope from a local drug dealer. The wonderfully composed performances from the three young leads are matched by stunning widescreen cinematography.
