Storyline

Schoolboy Jordi has to work two jobs, as hospital cleaner and car-wash attendant. Still he bends over backwards to help his classmates, especially utter ingrate Melissa. The spoiled but emotional daughter of a snobbish pa who looks down on 'common, horny' Jordi by her own admission has only one talent: dancing. When she gets a chance to dance in a video, she shamelessly abuses and ignores Jordi. Instead she hooks up with other dancers, who drag her along in ecstasy abuse 'to dance better'. Soon she's such a social and medical mess even dad comes beg Jordi to help find and cure her.

User Reviews

a film that has to be seen

It's an excellent movie: the tension is clearly sensible and there is even a moral: don't touch any drugs: it ruins your life. You know, these days many youth can be influenced by their friends to take drugs and sometimes it's hard to say no. That's why this film shows us, it's the best thing to do! It's not a movie like Eragon or something, so it's not a very spectacularly movie, but it certainly is a good movie! The only problem is, it's spoken in dutch. So people who can't understand dutch won't understand it... Even most Belgians will have some problems to understand it at the beginning, but in the middle of the movie they don't have those problems anymore... So just: it's a movie that has to be seen
