Stockholm, summer 1989. 19-year-old Axel and Melvin decide to make a feature film before their adult life begins. They persuade 24-year-old Hillevi to film her script about a strong woman who is not afraid to break convention. Axel finances the film through a loan and a promise to his father to become a lawyer if it fails. They manage to get along with Rebecka, 21, a beautiful and semi-famous actress. Melvin falls in love with Hillevi, who in turn falls in love with Rebecka, a triangle drama that creates problems for director Axel. The drama not only tests their ability to finish the film, but also their friendship.
