synopsis

Near Amsterdam the Ravens, a gang of well-off 20-year-olds, are operating. Their ideas for a new and better society are based on the ideas of Marx, Lenin, Mao and Marcuse. They develop into a gang of thugs from which weak members are removed without compassion. These murders are carried out by a group of young girls, called the Cats. All goes well until the Ravens decide to steal and wreck cars. This leads to even harder investigations by the police. After another murder of one of their members, the police arrest the Ravens and crack down hard on each individual member which leads to confessions of one of them.
Près d’Amsterdam, les Ravens, une bande de jeunes fortunés de vingt ans opère. Leurs propositions pour une société meilleure sont basées sur les idées de Marx, Lénine, Mao et Marcuse. Ils se développent en une bande de voyous dont les faibles sont supprimés sans compassion. Ces meurtres sont exécutés par un groupe de jeunes filles, appelé les chats. Tout se déroule bien jusqu’à ce que les Ravens décident de voler et détruire des voitures. Cela entraîne des enquêtes encore plus importantes de la part de la police. Après un nouveau meurtre de l’un de leurs membres, la police arrête les Ravens et fait pression sur chaque membre du groupe, ce qui entraîne l’aveu de l’un d’entre eux.
