KIDS centers on Telly, a sexually aggressive teenager obsessed with sleeping with virgins, unaware that he is HIV-positive. As he roams the city with his friends, including the troubled Casper, their reckless behavior highlights a generation disconnected from consequences. Meanwhile, Jennie, one of Telly’s previous partners, desperately searches for him after learning she may have contracted HIV. The narrative unfolds over a single day, exposing dangerous attitudes toward sex, consent, drugs, and responsibility. With minimal plot structure and improvised performances, the film forces viewers to confront uncomfortable realities. Kids does not glamorize youth culture; instead, it serves as a grim warning about ignorance, neglect, and lost innocence.

Kids is that most of the cast were real teenagers with no formal acting training, and several scenes were loosely improvised based on real street behavior. The film was so controversial that it was banned or heavily censored in multiple countries, and its original U.S. distributor dropped it before release due to fears of backlash.
