Two adolescent brothers, Zak and Danny, spend their summer vacation alone in the family cottage, as usual. Their mother has left to work abroad and nobody knows when or if she's coming back. With yet another boring summer ahead and almost no money left in the coffers, the boys decide to rent their house out to the local drug dealer. Although they don't have a place to stay now, thanks to their new friend, they can look forward to a summer of great fun and entertainment. This visually elaborate film about the pitfalls of adolescence is an insightful view into the world of teenagers, supported by authentic performances from both of the protagonists. Bouli Lannerse's film was introduced in Cannes last year where it received two awards in the independent Director's Fortnight section.
