Happy As Can Be
Synopsis
Leo has to look after his girlfriend Lola, who just had breast augmentation. Joined by Gab, an old friend from his neighbourhood, the three find themselves strolling around Lola's dad's mansion. What promised to be a plush escape for the boys into "how happy people live" will be a descent into hell, a test that will mark with a white stone a gateway to adulthood.
