CGiii Comment

A remarkable film from a complete novice.

Unrequited teenage love calmly played out against kidnap.

Cruel...with child-like chilliness.

A little too far-fetched perhaps - but, that's the business of film.

There's definite talent here...from everyone involved.

The(ir) Blurb...

Sebastian and Paul are two bored boys about 16 years of age. They drink alcohol, steal - and attend a private school. They can't find a sense of meaning in their present adolescent existence. They abduct Sonja and lock her in an old, abandoned factory building. But what shall they do with her? Disorientation, fear, desire and also love are changing to cruel aggressivity.
