Synopsis

Luca is a young actor who lives with his brother Alekos with very few resources. Luca’s life takes a dramatic turn when he receives an invitation to study acting at a prestigious school in New York. To take advantage of the opportunity, Luca and Alekos plan an armed robbery to get the necessary money. During the robbery, Luca accidentally shoots a pedestrian, leaving him seriously wounded. Luca decides to visit Ilias at the hospital, keeping the crime a secret, and, little by little, with these regular visits a friendship develops between them. However, as the date of the trial in New York approaches, Luca is torn between guilt and confession.
