A 14-year-old neat boy transforms into a metalhead through some events and gets in touch with the wrong people, causing him to drink and fail at school.
There are a few nice moments, but the whole picture still shows a low budget film where not much happens at all and the ending was abrupt. Apparently the last money was gone by then.

A kind of coming of age of a Latvian boy who leads a decent life in an impoverished city. That changes somewhat when he comes into contact with loose youth or a number of parties. The hormones also play a catalyzing factor.
A nice trick is that the 20-year older version sometimes walks with the adolescent Janis. Janis, who took his studies and his talent for language seriously, lets it hang a little more. Nirvana is the devil for his unknown parents and they do not know what to do with him.
The film moves along quietly, but does not make a great impression.
