Den eviga längtan bort – efter någonting bättre.

En träffsäker, välspelad ungdomsfilm av Lukas Moodysson som med talangfull hand väl kan teckna dagens ungdomssituation.

Att bo i Åmål är att vilja därifrån.

Filmen beskriver hopplöshet och rastlöshet hos ett gäng ungdomar från olika familjeförhållanden i en småstad. Filmen visar också hur det är att vara annorlunda, att bli utesluten ur kamratkretsen, sexdebutens kval, och den eviga längtan bort - efter någonting bättre och spännande.

Musiken i filmen görs av Robyn, Broder Daniel, Lars Gullin, Gyllene Tider m fl. Lukas Moodysson har även gjort filmen "Tillsammans".
