SYNOPSIS
Jan, Peter and Jule are three carefree young rebels who, besides their unease about the state of this world also have in common their deep-seated will to change it. Jan and Peter as “the legal guardians” send the rich in their city non-violent and yet mysterious messages: “The fat years are over”. The complications begin when the sensitive Jule falls in love with both men. Daring actions put the three in danger. When a foray goes wrong, something that was never planned to be a kidnapping leads to a confrontation between the three young idealists and the generation with power.
