Andrzej and Michal are two young teenagers who come together every summer in the small tourist village ‘Siemiany’ on the countryside in Poland. Their friendship has grown into years of great memories and the boredom of the countryside takes the boys’ friendship to a new level of sexually loaded intimacy. But Michal and Andrzej aren’t the only visitors of ‘Siemiany’. Lukasz, Michal’s older brother, possesses a gun and he is the leader of a gang of bleech blonde boys. Agnieszka, a fourteen year old lolita who Michal secretly loves, has developed an interest in Lukasz and tries everything to impress this gang. But Michal also looks up to Lukasz and since he can’t have Agnieszka, he starts exploring girls by seducing Lukasz’s girlfriend. Andrzej on the other hand - who violentally gets his hair bleeched by Lukasz to make him look less ‘gay’ - runs away after he sees his best friend being taken away from him by a girl.
