CGiii Comment
A serenade for troubled, troublesome teens...who like to drink.
Beautifully paced and filmed...the mayhem is pitted against the adults who are all as dysfunctional as their post-pubescent progeny.
Atli Oskar Fjalarsson (impressively) radiates throughout - his character has everything that the others' don't - concerned, caring parents...but, he has his own little secret.
The soundtrack adds everything...the funeral will have you in tears...the 'coming out' will have you in stitches.
A fine addition to the teen genre.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
A 16-year old Icelandic boy's first kiss with another boy gives him "jitters"--feelings he can't deny. This is a well-written film that captures the confusion and excitement of being a teenager, with an attractive ensemble cast. The film follows the lives of several teens and the challenges they face, in particular with their parents/guardians.
