En sommardag i Alby bryts stillheten när skinnskallarna Tobbe och Lasse kastar en brandbomb mot en flyktingförläggning. Med sig har de barndomsvännen Adam som även han är delaktig i attentatet, men utan att tveka räddar invandrartjejen Julia undan lågorna när byggnaden fattar eld. De två blir ögonblickligen förälskade i varandra, men deras kärlek är livsfarlig och måste hållas hemlig till varje pris. Stegvis eskalerar hatet mellan skinnskallarna och invandrargängen i deras närhet. En dödlig sammandrabbning närmar sig och Julia och Adam hamnar i skottlinjen…

Från IMDB:
On November 30th (the date when King Karl XII died) there will usually be demonstrations by hyper-national and neo-Nazi groups, and also democratic counter demonstrations. The plot of West Side Story is transferred to the Stockholmian suburb Alby where many immigrants live. But the film is no plagiarism, in particular no so because many scenes have the intensive character of live transmission. The boy (Adam) belongs to a Nazi group whose racial attitude is foremost directed against immigrants with wrong colour of hair or skin. The girl (Julia) belongs to a family of political fugitives from Peru. Adam and Julia immediately fall in great and reciprocal love, and there are highly emotional love scenes. Therefore Adam breaks with his group. But when his best friend is killed by Julias brother, he kills the brother. In turn the couple is hunted by the police and Julias relatives. Both Adam and Julia are finally murdered. The film takes no step toward reconciliation.
