Plot

Three young men, Rien, Eef, and Hans, are aspiring motocross racers living in a small Dutch town. They dream of escaping their mundane lives and achieving fame and fortune through their passion for motocross. Rien, the most talented among them, is recovering from an accident that has left him unable to race. He struggles with his reality while holding onto the hope of returning to the sport. Eef, discontent with his job as a mechanic and repressed by his conservative family, yearns for freedom and adventure. Hans, the underdog of the trio, grapples with self-doubt but looks up to his friends for inspiration.

Their lives take a turn when a charismatic and ambitious young woman, Fientje, arrives in town. She works at a traveling fast-food stand and sees an opportunity to change her fortunes by getting involved with the boys. As she integrates into their lives, her presence forces each of them to confront their desires and the harsh truths about their future. Relationships become strained as dreams and ambitions clash, leading to moments of triumph and defeat. The paths they choose reveal much about their characters and ultimately reshape their destinies in unpredictable ways.
