Daniel is a graffiti painter who has long since stopped paying bills and is not scratching his head as a result. His friend Roger works in a hospital but dreams of one day becoming a football referee. Roger thinks Daniel is a good friend, but he should occasionally learn life lessons. Everything changes when men fall in love with the same girl, the mysterious Frank. Frank said he loved Roger, but it may be that she was intoxicated at the time. Irresponsible and still living with a quanked mother, Frank is a female variant of Daniel. But carefree days can’t last forever and the trio will be forced to know what a sense of responsibility is.

The film has won numerous international awards.
