A teenager gets involved in the death of a railway security guard. As an investigation is under way, he leads a normal teenage life skateboarding, having sex, and hanging out with his buddies.
For me this was an exceedingly unsatisfactory film, with some choices that seemed inconceivable coming from an experienced filmmaker like this. Just as an example, the choice of keeping the main event of the film a mystery until halfway to it -- why? Also, there is so little actually going on in the entire movie, that it feels almost like a short. Sometimes the filmmaker doesn't seem to care much about the actual rooting of the film's themes in images - e.g. I do not remember a single scene featuring the lead character skating. All this is not to say that it is a worthless film: there is a distinct sense of poesy which permeates some of its scenes (the protagonist falling asleep in the lab; the very weird scene where his two female friends talk to him while he is reading the newspaper; etc).
