Powerful and passionate, colorful and compelling, kids is 24 hours in the lives of a group of contemporary teenagers who, like all teenagers, believe they are invincible. The kids at the core of the story are just that, teenagers living in the urban melee of modern-Day america. (this is kids kissing on box art)
 


Editor's Note

A group of street-tough Manhattan teens fight, party, take drugs, have sex and scoff at the consequences in this unflinching account of one day in their lives. Larry Clark's controversial, bleak portrait of societal decay originally garnered an NC-17 rating, which the filmmakers surrendered, opting instead to release the film unrated.


Plot Summary

A bleak and uncompromising look at the dangerous world of New York street kids. The film focuses on the sexual experiences of Telly, a teen-aged seducer who desires only virgins. When Jennie -- who's had sex solely with Telly -- tests HIV positive, she frantically searches the city to tell him he's infected. Eventually, she finds him, but too late, for he's already deflowered his latest adolescent conquest.
