Plots(1)
It is almost summer in Sweden, and minor indiscretions and misbehavior abound. Leffe likes to play pranks and show off for his friends, especially when he is drinking. A righteous grade-school teacher does not know where to draw the line, insisting her fellow educators need a bit of instruction. Then there are two young teenage girls who like to pose for sexy photos and to party. One night things go awry when one of them is found passed out drunk by a complete stranger. In the end, it is all about lessons to learn, lectures to give and lines not to cross. (official distributor synopsis)
