Harry and Pheno, both young people in dead-end jobs, meet by chance one day and decide to rebel. They embark on a freedom binge, first painting graffitti then moving on to more daring escapades. A cop is soon on their tail, but he starts to falter when he finds himself becoming beguiled by their freedom.
Pheno Was Here is a film about Pheno and Harry's energy in rebelling against a system that has failed to offer them any sort of a future. It is a fantasy about what you would do if you could ignore the rules society makes to hold you in your place.
