Three lower-class Moscow high school friends, Katya, Vika and Janna, learn that there will be a school disco on the coming Saturday night. They start preparations to what seems to be the most important moment in their life.
The film depicts issues of child alcoholism and violence in Russia. In order to appear more realistic, the actors consumed large quantities of alcohol and tobacco on camera, performed fight scenes without stunts and used many mat profanities. However, the main protagonists were all played by adult professional actors.
