The things you do, when you're young

A quite realistic film about three youngsters, who have messed up their lives with drugs. Papu and Ippe want to get their dealer off their back. To do this, they have to smuggle a load of acid from Stockholm. The film was criticized because of its excessive use of certain f-word; although, it is the way (some) young people speak nowadays. A more interesting point is how the film portraits adults: they are either mean exploiters or they have no idea what their children are doing.
