A drama about the rise and fall of a young boy who inadvertently sets out for a career of a gangster. Twenty-year old Zyga doesn´t feel that the life of the early nineties, after the fall of the Iron Curtain, in the Polish-German border area has changed. He is tired of watching trendy craze and West comforts only in color magazines. Therefore, he decides, together with his friends, to brighten up the life in the gray town and improve his and his neighbours´ situation.
