Synopsis:
There is a lot of lies told about being a human being. Most lies are told about the youth. But once we are grown up, we start missing and looking back. And we have lost the language, because the youth has a language of its own. We dare not go and look for them, ask them who they are, where they are going. Youth is not ours anymore, that is why we lie about who they are. The film follows students from the 10th grade at Hauketo Continuation School, East Oslo, the last months before the exams. This is a new Norway. A new Europe. The classroom is the real UN. It is the time of opportunity - when children from all around the world come together, and become each others best friends and sweethearts at an early age. The chance is now Ð if we wish and can Ð to take care of the school and the individual.
