“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” Isn’t Very New

Four good friends, all seventeen-year old, lose their innocence during their last summer together. Flanders 1996. Rik, Tim, Roel and Bart aimlessly wile away the summer days in a small village where nothing exciting ever happens.

Their reckless behaviour lands the boys in a web of intrigue, which they have a hard time escaping from.
