Storia
Human Traffic follows the lives of five friends in their late twenties living in Cardiff: Jip, Lulu, Koop, Nina, and Moff. Their weekdays are marked by monotonous jobs to make ends meet - Jip and Lulu work at a fast food restaurant, Koop sells clothes, Nina is a salesclerk, and Moff's job is not specified. As they navigate their boredom and relationship problems, they find solace in the weekend rave culture that takes them from Friday night to Monday morning. The film captures their hedonistic lifestyle, as they party hard, experiment with drugs, and deal with alcohol abuse.
Riassunto
Human Traffic is a British-Irish independent comedy-drama set against the backdrop of Cardiff's rave scene in the late 1990s. Directed by Justin Kerrigan, the film is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of boredom, friendship, and the search for meaning amidst the monotony of dead-end jobs. It captures the spirit of youth culture during this era, with its vibrant fashion, music, and dance scenes. The movie also tackles issues like alcohol abuse within the context of its characters' hedonistic lifestyle.
