Together with his best buddies he goes out for a night to remember. A night of 'Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll' in which Ed discovers that life is not much fun drunk or sober. Hassan, on the other hand, has a girl who loves him and a bright future. But, he has a big problem at home - his father wants him to take over the family's Moroccan grocery store despite the fact that Hassan has been accepted by a college to further his studies. The parallel paths followed by the two protagonists over a period of 18 hours intersect violently outside a local shopping centre with fatal consequences for one and fateful consequences for the other. Grittily realistic and reminiscent of films such as Kids and Ken Park, Schoft portrays a devastating incident of random violence without the comforts of facile redemption. ...Scum (2009) ( Schoft )
