New Europe Film Festival has been bringing the films from the new EU member states to the Edinburgh Filmhouse cinema since 2007. This year, for the first time, the festival will also show part of the programme in the Barbican in London.

Rass lives with his girlfriend in Tallinn and goes to a posh high school. He dreams about becoming a doctor in the future but right now he tries to make money through less legal activities: stealing petrol and dealing drugs. When he gets in with the wrong crowd and messes up with a  Mafia boss his small-time gangster's life gets out of control. He has to choose who to trust and play his cards right to get the money and the girl at the end. Violent, fast and engaging story with quick editing that will leave you breathless.
