Grumpy handyman Laco loses everything to a group of ruthless mobsters. Now wheelchair-bound and watching his life spiral into despair, Laco struggles with bitterness and rage. It’s only through his unlikely new friend, Gabo, a wise and free-spirited Roma, that Laco begins to see the world from a different perspective. Gabo’s resilience and unwavering belief in justice ignite something deep within Laco. Together, they hatch a plan for revenge, but Laco soon learns that true redemption comes not through vengeance, but through the courage to reclaim his life and his humanity.
