After an ordinary motorbike accident, twenty-year-old Zim must find a proper job if he wants to avoid jail. Zim isn’t a lazy guy so he scans newspaper ads looking for something which will keep him out of trouble. The only one he can apply for, starts in ten days, requires a car and a driver’s license. Not having either Zim has to get creative and come up with an inventive scheme. He turns to his supportive crew of buddies – Cheb, Arthur and Safia – ready to do anything, or almost, to keep him out of jail. This uplifting and emotional movie is about resourcefulness and solidarity. Spreading a strong message of hope on how the powerful link uniting three boys can make them overcome life’s obstacles.
