In order to be together, they must escape from their homes, go into hiding, and lead a double life. Trying to protect their freedom of choice and their individuality, they cross the line and turn into Bonnie and Clyde on the run, trying to avenge the world that has no room for them. ------Sasha and Danny, both 15, lose their virginity together. When Sasha’s parents find out, her policeman stepfather forbids her to set foot outside the family home. Danny and Sasha run away together in protest against their parents and the society as a whole.
