Synopsis

The film portrays the story of an unusual friendship. A boy with a troubled childhood and a young man with a broken life both have one thing in common: nobody needs them. Thomas struggles fitting to society. Labeled as a “freak” he keeps ending up in a psychiatry. The younger Ukrainian boy Viktor counts as a nuisance to everyone and is set to go to a orphanage after the death of his mother.
After finding each other, however, they build a small cabin in the woods to establish their own home within nature. Their daily struggle for survival creates a strong bond between the two and gives their life a new meaning. The nature provides them with new strength and they are no longer the “freaks” they once were. Now they are the ones who look down upon the daily routines of the matrix instead of vice-versa.
