A law student (Simon Lööf) accidentally meets an anarchist (Nora Rios) and is drawn into her world and criminal associates.

The story may come across as overly familiar, as we follow a naive searcher, trying to impress his upper-class roommates while also being seduced by the anarchist rhetoric of his lover and her gang who are essentially thieves hiding behind it.

What happens is pretty much expected, but the cast (including Peter Andersson as a retired professor who’s cynically encouraging his young followers) elevates the film, along with Mikael Marcimain’s confident directing.
