Kryštof, a food courier in his late thirties, is barely surviving – no family, no degree, just endless rides through a hostile city. Delivering gourmet meals to luxurious offices but also food to struggling single mothers – he maps the deep inequalities of urban life. A chance encounter with Klára, an art student and activist, sparks hope. Drawn into her world of protests, he soon realizes her activism is a hobby, while for him, it’s survival.

After a protest turns violent, he joins Elena, a radical who believes only revolution can bring change. Together they sabotage cars and lash out at the city – but when violence spirals, Kryštof must confront whether destruction can ever lead to justice.
