Three tales of privileged youth entangled in murder: French students kill for money, an Italian student smuggles cigarettes, and an English poet exploits a grim discovery.

A chillingly detached exploration of privileged youth and their moral decay. It’s a stark, often unsettling look at ennui and the casual cruelty that can bloom in the absence of consequence, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
