Synopsis

Summer with old friends. Experiencing the end of childhood together. Fishing at a beautiful lake, driving around the town, hanging out at the gas station... Not because they want to, but because there is absolutely nothing else to do. THE IDLE ONES is a touching and revealing, yet funny documentary about three young men, Lotko, Hapa and Bodi, who live in an emptying area in Northern Finland.
