Michael, 17, is secretly in love with Veronicka. His best friend Faye has a crazy plan to get them together; a threesome! Two girls at one time is a fantasy for most guys... the only problem is that Michael is a virgin.
The movie examines the lives of the not-so-fortunate dregs of society through absurdist comedy. The unfortunates of the title are mentally challenged people, some of whom could be termed insane - or merely inane.
