Almost the whole story happened at night. Several young people drove their beloved cars, strolling around the city, dating girls and boys racing. The road at night seemed to have no end, and young people poked their heads out of their cars to strike up a conversation and yell at each other.
A radio anchor that makes young people crazy. On the night of the graduation season, a group of young people who bid farewell to high school arbitrarily chased the voice of their idol on the road, or chased something else they didn't know.
They were together, separated, and grew up, and in the end they all became middle-aged people who were different from the beginning. The movie stopped when they were growing up. The story on the road that night is the epitome of their entire youth, racing, drinking, lying and vindictive but also honest and lovely. Because of the lack of pretentiousness to the shortcomings, it seems more cute. It is different from the lonely, secretly disturbed town in Bogdanovic's "Last Movie". Although most of this "American Style Painting" is night scenes, all the pleasures and unhappiness in the film are clear and externalized and very arbitrary.
If this is youth, then it must be the look that young Americans were nostalgic for in those days.
