In Sweden, teenagers as young as 15 can legally drive - as long as they stay under 30 km/h. This has given rise to a unique youth culture centered around the so-called EPA tractors.
In Sunne, a small town in Värmland, 9th graders from Fryxellska school gather every day after school at the local square. Some days, just a handful of cars line up, side by side. Other days, as many as 15 fill the square with music, smoke, and laughter. For these young adults, the EPA is more than just a vehicle - It's a way to connect, build friendships, and feel a sense of freedom on the road towards adulthood.
Thirty Kilometers per hour is a story about youth, friendship, and belonging.
