Marek (14 years old) is a young boy shaved to zero who lives in fables of rebel hooliganism, typical for young boys like him, and likes to presume for his sexual achievements. Hedus, on his side, is a fat boy highly gullible who adores and envies Marek while he has his own dreams, like entering in the Foreign Legion, an elite group of the army. The two boy believe they are friends forever, and decide to steal a filthy Audio with the purpose of travelling all around the world. However, a sudden rapture make them pick a hitch-hiking.
