Synopsis: Aleksi Bardi, one of Finland's most well-known screenwriters (RESTLESS, THE TOUGH ONES), tries his hand at directing in this stylish teen drama about a group of boys whose sexual explorations take them down ever-darker paths. Taavi (Jussi Nikkilä) is a wealthy, artistic 18-year-old whose fabulous lifestyle belies a tragic past. An orphan since the age of 10, on his birthday he inherits his parents' mansion and celebrates the occasion by throwing a wild party, which he documents with his ever-present camcorder. Taavi keeps the camera rolling even after most people have gone to sleep, capturing a sexual encounter on tape, and upon screening the video for his friends, the boys decide to make a pact. Each time they meet, they will bring a video recording of their latest sexual exploit. It can be obtained with or without consent, with a partner or stranger, and the best video wins a prize. This group of spoiled, rich kids soon starts playing with fire, toying with the emotions of others in ways bound to have consequences.     Source: RottenTomatoes.com
