Synopsis

Nobody is born to be a drug dealer. Rass, 17, elite school student, though living alone and poorly in an Estonian slum, has dreams about family and love. One night he gets a phone call from his friend who invites him to a party held in honor of Olari, 26, who has just got out of prison. That very same day Rass has sold his cell phone and his jacket in order to buy some food. Olar offers Rass an opportunity to earn some money. He has to sell drugs. Rass agrees. This is the start for a turbulence of uncontrollable events where he is drawn in. Getting arrested may be his only chance to start that other life he is dreaming about.
