SYNOPSIS
Jan, a guy in his twenties, and his friend Crecker, are involved in several crimes in their neglected suburb within the city. After meeting the “golden youth” beauty, Sabina, he looks for a fresh start in downtown circles but finds contempt. His hopes for love, compassion and opportunity are dashed by the even more ruthless rules of the bourgeois; all he can count on is himself.
