materie 2004* - Norsk filminstitutt

November 1989. The Berlin wall collapses. In Stavanger town, Jarle Klepp (17) has no idea that
everything is about to change. So far he has got everything; the best girlfriend in the world, and
the world's coolest buddy. Together they will soon launch Stavanger's toughest punk band,
Mathias Rust Band. But then the new boy in class, Yngve, appears. He is not like anyone else, and
Jarle is confused. He does not know what to do. All he knows is that he cannot stop meeting
Yngve, even if it involves doing things he really hates. Slowly but steadily Jarle lets everyone
around him down, and finds out what it means to stand alone.
