Romanian-language drama following the struggles of a teenage offender due for release. Silviu (George Pistereanu) has spent a number of years locked away in a tough juvenile detention centre but is due for release in two weeks. However, a couple of weeks can seem a long time when faced with the kind of issues that haunt Silviu. Most worryingly, he hears that his absent mother has returned and plans to take the beloved younger brother Silviu spent years taking care of back to Italy with her before her elder son's release. More welcome is the friendship Silviu develops with Ana (Ada Condeescu), a student on work experience in the institution. However, when Silviu panics and tries to take the things he wants by force - freedom and Ana - he gets himself into all kinds of trouble.
