Twelve-year-old Zsolt lives in a dilapidated Budapest flat and is the lone caretaker for his grandmother, a woman lost to drink and confined to her bed. Harassed by local gangs and ignored by an indifferent society, he forms a desperate connection with a pregnant girl. This isolation eventually drives him to commit a series of irreversible, violent acts.
