Story description:
Due amici scoprono che uno ha fatto sesso con la madre dell'altro e per punizione decidono di tagliare via l’“arma del delitto”. Girato in un piccolo villaggio estone, la storia racconta cosa due giovani possono architettare quando non hanno nulla da fare: nessun lavoro, nessuna opportunità, nessuna educazione, nessuna volontà di crescere.

Two friends find out that one of them has had sex with the mother of the other and for punishment they decide to cut off the “guilty” penis. The film is set in a small town of Estonia and shows what two young men will do when they have nothing to do - no work opportunities, no education and no wishes to grow up.
