Färdknäpp
Dennis feels he's had enough of the cozy middle-class life in the suburbia. Before the middle-age (and John Denver's records) puts him down he wants to break away from everything. Unfortunately his wife Pauline and their friends William and Jane don't make it easy for him. To make matters worse, there seems to be some young punks vandalizing the neighborhood, but it's definitely not the ones everyone seem to believe it is.
