Gothenburg Kids

A young drug dealer on the rise becomes a key murder witness, endangering everybody close to him.

synopsis

Krille is a 17-year-old charming and street smart drug dealer on the rise, living in a working-class area in Gothenburg, where he hangs with his friends Abbe and Nico. He agrees to keep a package for his friend David, and when they meet up at a shopping mall, Krille becomes witness to David’s killing. When Krille’s dad tries to stop some hoodlums from getting to his son, he is gunned down, leaving Krille and his younger sister Amy all alone. Krille’s criminal lifestyle takes a nasty turn and he no longer knows who to trust. He realizes that he needs protection so he starts dealing drugs for the local kingpin Zlatko. But Krille has a newfound love, Jaqui, who is his complete opposite: a good student with a bright future. He leads a double life until Jaqui discovers that he is a criminal and gives him an ultimatum. The police are after him to testify, so they can bring the shooter and Zlatko to justice. Now Krille is alone and has to make a choice.

Director’statement

Gothenburg Kids shows a side of Sweden unknown to most of the world. It explores a society that has lost grip on its young population and the different social factors that have led to today’s situation of violence and street shootings. We are looking for a broadcaster and international partners.
