Directed by Jukka-Pekka Siili
18-year-old
Taavi, who never goes anywhere without his video camera, and
his young and wealthy friends find themselves on the cusp of
adulthood. After throwing
a wild party at the mansion left to him by his deceased parents, Taavi shoots
video of the party-goers in their various states of undress and drunken sexual
congress. What begins as a prank spurs Taavi and his friends Jere, Sami,
and Markus to form a club, the only requirement for admission
being that each young
man must bring a tape of his latest sexual conquest to every club meeting.
This risqué game quickly degenerates into dangerous compulsion as relationships
implode and the boys forsake their girlfriends in favor of prostitutes and “swingers”.
As currents of coercion and abuse enter the picture, each young man must
ultimately confront his own morality in the viewfinder.
99 mins. / In Finnish with English

“Well-crafted and fast-paced!”
Deborah Young, VARIETY
"Young Gods is a very well directed, written and acted
Finnish film about
teen boys who go too far videotaping their sexual exploits.
The DVD looks
and sounds terrific. Recommended!"
