Geschichte
Human Traffic follows the lives of five friends in their late twenties living in Cardiff: Jip, Lulu, Koop, Nina, and Moff. Their weekdays are marked by monotonous jobs to make ends meet - Jip and Lulu work at a fast food restaurant, Koop sells clothes, Nina is a salesclerk, and Moff's job is not specified. As they navigate their boredom and relationship problems, they find solace in the weekend rave culture that takes them from Friday night to Monday morning. The film captures their hedonistic lifestyle, as they party hard, experiment with drugs, and deal with alcohol abuse.
Zusammenfassung

It captures the spirit of youth culture during this era, with its vibrant fashion, music, and dance scenes. The movie also tackles issues like alcohol abuse within the context of its characters' hedonistic lifestyle.
