It's Ethan Eng and Justin Morrice's senior year in high school, and to commemorate that they decide to make a yearbook style movie - but not your typical piece just celebrating the good times but one that also features pieces that people not always get to see. The outcome is a film that celebrates their friendship and sees them pulling many pranks, have the typical adventures of high school students, good parties, bad parties, people tripping out and puking, but also a rather unpleasant fall-out of the two of them with a reconciliation only weeks later. But their friendship seems to outlive high school, and if they got their will they'd go on like this forever - that is until tragedy strikes ...

If above synopsis makes you think this is just another coming-of-age movie, I can't blame you and yet you're mistaken, as of course in terms of plot the film doesn't tell much that hasn't been told before, but in terms of approach the movie's rather unique, as instead of relying on straight storytelling, the film's made up of documentary-style snippets of high school life, that more often than not seem to be put together associatively rather than out of narrative necessity, giving the film a refreshingly experimental feel that challenges the audience to piece the story together themselves, and the result's rather fascinating, actually.
