Synopsis

A seemingly wholesome group of boys forms a rebellious gang called the Piranhas. Their innocent-looking after-school routine quickly gives way to stolen beer, cigarette smoking, reckless behavior, and gleeful destruction. Fire extinguishers become toys, good manners disappear, and the group's camaraderie takes on an increasingly unruly edge. The video plays the contrast between the children's sweet appearance and their chaotic conduct for darkly comic effect, turning an ordinary group of kids into a miniature delinquent crew.
