17-year-old Amo lives in the ghettos of Tbilisi and dreams of a career as a swimmer. The road there is rocky however: In order to raise the money he needs to take part in a competition in Belgium, he cooperates with petty criminal Guro and deals in drugs. Meanwhile, Amo falls in love with the extroverted Jessica who, for her part, does nothing but make fun of him. Because she herself is romantically involved with Guro. Amongst the illegal business dealings and emotional entanglements, Amo increasingly loses control of his life. Bleak and yet poetic, the film portrays the power games of an unequal trio, the search for freedom and the bitter consequences of youthful decisions.
