       1982. A small town in Sweden. Abra (Neldén) is an aspiring punk rocker. The sexist locals hate punks. The attack her, and when they attack a visiting band she escapes with them to Gothenburg. She and Millan (Wallin) start a punk band.

       The trials and tribulations of punkers who work in a sausage packing factory, get gigs in old people’s homes and weddings, fall in and out of love with more or less worthy guys.

       Predictable but fun.
