In the 1990s, following the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, two friends attempt to start a new life amid the ruins of their former homeland. In doing so, they find themselves caught up in a risky cycle: they transport German cars to Russia to secure their livelihood, gaining momentum as they go. The film tells a story of friendship, courage, and hope for a better future—at a time when borders are gradually blurring and the world is changing.
