Both of them must overcome their harsh feelings towards one another, and perhaps learn to achieve their individual goals together…

From promising Hungarian filmmaker János Edelényi comes a heart-warming tale about two unlikely friends, which also includes a strong performance by character actor Brian Cox (no, not that one…).
