The picture of youth, love and betrayal, the eternal problem of fathers and children. The main actors are teenagers living in a small provincial town. Their parents — decent people who are used to making money in an honest way - do not have the opportunity to help their children.

Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside.

The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.
