Joy is a young girl looking for friendship. She thinks to find friends in Roos and Chantal. When Roos and Chantal don't show up at Joy's friendship party, Joy is furious and she thinks out a plan to force her 'so called friends' into a long life friendship: they will make a joy ride to a model competition in Nice and on their way Joy will ensure their friendship with the killing of an innocent passenger.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of 2000s Dutch black comedies that exported poorly—this barely registered outside Benelux despite Verbaan's star power from 'Costa!'
The Nice model competition destination is a deliberate fake-out; like Joy herself, the film promises glam deliverance while delivering something far uglier.
