The 1990s in Kiev – violence, sex and love among Ukrainian youth – are brought to a life in this fast-paced and exciting film by a director with a background in music videos.

When the hell did it start, when will it finally end? - Violence against women: Tonia moves from the center of the city to a new school on the outskirts. In search of protection and a sense of belonging, she joins a clique of tough teenagers. Together they make the post-socialist suburbs of Kiev unsafe. Tonia quickly falls in love with Zhurik, but is also drawn to the ever-menacing Sania. Eventually, she gets caught up in a wrenching love triangle. And then there’s her brutal ex-boyfriend, who won’t stop stalking her. The inner and outer conflicts are thus brought to an inexorable head. - A rousing drama, which in its rich and at the same time dirty colors feels like it crashed into our present directly from the 90s. Captured by a camera that appears unfettered.
