The narrative focuses on Vera's increasingly complex relationship with the charismatic but manipulative leader of the group, Morgan, and the other members, as they travel through Sweden, staging provocative performances and challenging societal norms. The film explores themes of adolescence, rebellion, freedom, societal alienation, and the search for belonging.
