A touching story of a woman and a family put to the test in a world of violence, unfulfilled ambitions and growing chaos. 14-year-old Dawid takes care of his younger brother and tries to meet the expectations of his mother - a woman who wants to break away from a toxic past and start anew, without her imprisoned husband. Although the boy has talent and strength, it is increasingly difficult for him to maintain control in his everyday life stretched between school, home and the streets. Everything becomes even more complicated when Konrad, the only adult Dawid truly trusts, enters their lives. However, this is only the beginning of turbulent events that may ultimately break up this family... or save it.
