Kelvin, Vijay and Nasif have been friends for years, since long before the boys noticed that there’s more to life than football: girls! It’s a topic they’re not very familiar with but one that they find all the more fascinating. What should the perfect girl be like? How do they envisage their “first time”? What does a boy need to know and do? Probably the most important thing is to “keep cool”.
