However, their relationship takes a complicated turn when rumors of a teacher-student affair start circulating. The movie explores themes of friendship, family dynamics, and the challenges of adolescence.

Friends Petr and Michal, who have known each other since high school, live completely different lives: one has already settled down, has a well-paid job and a family, the other is a loner with unfulfilled artistic ambitions. But they are still united by their passion: graffiti.
