Seeking for approval

Hard to Break tells the energetic and intimate coming-of-age story about 18-year-old Atte and 16-year-old Jonsu, who find themselves entangled in serious troubles as they seek approval from their social media followers and peers.

Atte loves to entertain his 40,000 Snapchat followers, with whom he shares life's ups and downs uncensored. With Atte, Jonsu finds a new group of friends whose atmosphere without rules begins to attract him.

The film draws an honest portrayal of youth in the 2020’s, where drugs and violence become part of the reality of young people. Despite the darker tones, Hard to Break also leaves room for the humor and hope that come from the resilience of youth, as the characters push forward in the face of challenges.
