BEAUTY & THE BASTARD
 

Nelli, a girl who´s been subdued by praise, is on her way to medical school if her parents can help it, even though she daydreams about a career as a singer. If only she could come up with a demo that she could use to show her talent to the record companies.

Sune, a beaten down kid from a rough area, is a talented hip hop DJ who´s afraid of women. To show his friends otherwise, he makes a bet that he can get Nelli to sleep with him. His friends don´t believe a beauty like her would even spit Sune´s way. But Nelli sees an opportunity to get herself a free demo.

As they use each other, they fall for each other. There´s a lot of road to cover to meet halfway. The lady needs to learn to stop trying to please everyone. The tramp needs to learn to observe others in life as well as in art.

Sune´s friends have a barrel of fun with what goes on. But Nelli´s boyfriend and Isukki aren´t at all pleased.

Taking your own path is always a step into emptiness.
