Episode number 7 of Series “Not suitable for adults”.
An episode on boredom, boredom and more boredom. Teenagers, in a set of comic sketches, explore the “nowhere to go, nothing to do syndrome”. Once they take up the challenge of organising the school social, they realise that a creative and positive approach to overcoming boredom can solve the problem.
