A punk story about the Z generation without censorship. Oscar, who lives in Toronto, returns to Krakow after many years. He carries a baggage of difficult life experiences with him and has a plan for the coming future – tattooing. Half-legally, in friends’ flats, in the street, whenever he can – he offers inking. Rumours about his work spread around town, which facilitates new contacts with other beginning artists. They treat tattooing and being tattooed as a creative activity which enables them to express themselves and break free from any rules.
