Synopsis

Despite being savaged by the local film censors and labelled 'a threat to national security', Tan and his film have found critical and public acclaim around the world - however specific the milieu and radical the content, it's still a youth movie dealing with universally recognisable themes and feelings. Assembled as a kaleidoscopic collage, the film follows a group of real teenagers through their daily rounds of skipping school, fighting, drug smuggling, mutual masturbation, body modification and searching for the perfect place to commit suicide. Fast, funny, sad, sexy, brutal and unflinchingly honest.
