Families are the basic units of our society. There are different levels of power in our society as well as within families. Children, who are often not respected as a whole person, are ripped off of their right to choose and to decide. Their voices are often left unheard and parents may not always understand the responsibility of having children.

This movie speaks to this problem using a non-linear approach, showing audience the lives of 3 teenagers in a gang - graffiti artist Alex, kickboxer Gabi and a pretty girl, Oki, from a rich family. When they gather, they live the worry-free teenage lives, they laugh and they have fun, but once they are back at home, they are suppressed and forced to share the distasteful problems of adult lives with their parents.

The drama lies in the interaction and choices made by teachers and parents, reflecting their world view, suggesting how their selfishness or ignorance affect their children. In this movie, the adults are rarely in a good mood, and the kids rarely smile when they are home.

As the movie progresses, tension builds up from unsolved family problems. (Spoiler) The parents carelessly murder the dreams and the innocence of their children, and who is the final murderer?
