Plot
In 1964, in the fictional Myla village of Skarsdark, Tedo Baster (Kristjan Kurter) is the leader of a clique of rockers. The clique consists of Tedo, Tedo's best friend Andru (Paul Vakanan), Andru's girlfriend Sofia (Tina Nastermann), and their other friends Denis (Tomas Neverbauer), Jon (Alexander Nygander), and Jak (Ulysses Frants). Tedo grew up an orphan and has recently turned 18, being kicked out of the orphanage he grew up in and rendered homeless. Him and the other rockers have since dropped out of school and live a peaceful life enjoying themselves and listening to rock and roll music. Meanwhile, Diana (Alexandra Purmann) is a member of the mod clique in Skarsdark. The clique is led by Diana's boyfriend Robert (Mark Gunter), who is violent and unstable, and also consists of Markus (Henrik Vardermann), Greg (Samel Klel), Daniel (Erik Vesek), Victor (Isak Palersk), and Diana's best friend Annalisa (Lisa Aleksko). Unlike the rockers, the mods come from wealthy families, study programs like business or law at the local gymnasium, listen to "sophisticated" soul music, and hang out at the local coffeehouse.

One day, while on their way home, the mods meet the rockers underneath a bridge. A fight between the males ensues, culminating in Robert shooting and accidentally killing Andru, while seriously injuring Jon. With the cops on the way, the mods flee on their scooters, accidentally leaving Diana behind with the rockers. Although initially fearing for her life, Tedo takes Diana back to the rockers' hangout. Diana, a nursing student, cares for Jon's wounds and nurses him back to health.
