Hovsjö, Södertälje, 2023. Kleo and Eli have fallen in love with each other amid the rehearsals of the musical theater production Romeo and Juliet. Their love faces opposition from Kleo's cousin who believes that Eli is associating with the wrong kind of people, moreover, he comes from a bad family. On the other hand, Eli's brother Alar cannot understand how Eli can dedicate himself to something as silly as playing the trumpet in an orchestra - he thinks Eli should choose the path that his own gang chose a long time ago. On the opening day, everything comes to a head when Kleo and Eli's relationship is revealed to her family. At the same moment that Eli loses Kleo, he makes a decision that has unimaginable consequences. Just like for Romeo and Juliet's Verona, both love and tragedy occur in the city that is theirs. Verona and Södertälje - two of all the places on earth where young people pay the price for the adult world's betrayal.
