When Aris, a 35 year-old worker in a factory gets fired without any warning, he becomes obsessed with the idea to take justice in his own hands. He is ready to proceed with his goal when his ex-wife dumps their 6 year-old son on him.

Director’s statement: A harsh urban western about the unequal fight of a young worker against unjustice. This is a film on what is happening in Greece now. But also an inside trip through a young man’s mind who feels invisible. This is a film on invisible people, on a whole invisible world.
