Igor Sterk is the energy of modern Slovenian cinema. With this film he sets out to create a profile of lost youth and the rave scene in Ljubljana, while at the same time quoting John Berger in his statement about the film. It is what is between the scenes and the lives of the young people that the film is made.

The film follows five young people aged between 20 and 25 are trying to find their way in life. Their stories are loosely woven around the main protagonist, Mare, a medical student who suddenly discovers the allure of rave parties, house music and XTC pills. As a result, he begins to neglect his studies. Like so many of his generation, Mare doesn't know how to go about tackling his life. At the same time as high energy, it is also elusive, the essence of the film side-steps the viewer, creating the emptiness at the heart of the main characters.

Beware this film has a lot of strobe effects.
