An unflinching look at the lives of a young generation who grew up during the Croatian Homeland War as they struggle to adapt to the new rules of merciless capitalism in the post-war years. The story follows four addicts, and begins when one of them returns home after three years at a rehabilitation centre. Life in the rundown, crime-ridden neighbourhood with his old friends will invariably send him back on the path of self-destruction.
