Synopsis
The fourteen-year-old Nic lives with her two brothers, Josch and Mike. Josch, the older of the two brothers, is mentally handicapped, and the younger brother Mike assumes the role of being the head of the family. Precocious Nic is eager to lose her virginity, and Josch, upon meeting Nadine, Mike's girlfriend, falls for her. Childishly frank in expressing his feelings, Josch announces that he wants to have sex with Mike's girlfriend Nadine for his thirtieth birthday. Nic, too, falls in love, with a head of a gangster, and decides to lose her virginity to him. Nic and Josch, however, are both having trouble realizing their dreams of getting laid. The film depicts the much ado about a sexually inexperienced teenage girl and her equally inexperienced brother, both of whom are eager to lose their virginity; however, their eagerness is repeatedly frustrated. Compelled to play the father figure for the teenage sister and a mentally handicapped older brother, Mike faces a crisis in his personal life just as he begins to own up to his own desires after meeting Nadine. Nic, the youngest but precocious teenager, Josch, who is about to celebrate his thirtieth birthday, and Mike, who plays the father figure to the siblings all three characters, lacking discipline with their desires, are, in fact, still in the process of coming of age. This very lack of discipline is the reason for their failure to get laid for the first time, trying to satiate their desires through a crude and straightforward way. The film portrays the process of how the three siblings narrow the gap between the world and their clumsy desires. In short, it is a coming-of-age film. With the goal of getting laidcs the seed of the plot, the film, however, maintains wholesome and perky imagination. (The shocking ending, however, seems to be a willful defiance of such a favorable review.) (Moon Il-pyoung)
