action

Jip lives in Cardiff , works in a clothing store and suffers from fear of sexual failure. He is dissatisfied with the gray everyday life, and his family background leaves little hope: his father is in prison and his mother earns her money with prostitution. It is the same with his friends. Jip's only bright spot are the weekends he spends drugged with them. The film focuses on such a weekend. Jip, Koop, Nina (Koop's girlfriend), Lulu and the policeman's son Moff want to go to the Asylum , a hip Cardiff club. However, they only got four tickets for the club. Lulu voluntarily wants to stay at home, which Jip, who has his eye on her, is not at all comfortable with. In a pretty daring way, he gets the missing card so they all can come in and celebrate.
