User review:

Jimmi’s socio-critical story, inspired by a real person, throws the viewer into an emotional pool. Torn between pity, sympathy, yes, fascination, but also lack of understanding and rejection, the viewer follows the adolescent from an anti-social home. Jimmi is a naive and charming good-for-nothing and an arrogant parasite who cannot do anything and yet makes excessive demands. Jimmi appears to be a rebel, but only because he knows no morals and no inhibitions to manipulate people.
