A funny story about a young boy from a pathological family who is looking for his place in life. His choices prove he’s more mature than adults and people around him and the criminal world that he finds appealing won’t be his final choice. It’s worth paying attention to the interesting portrayal of the community of car thieves and a gallery of local Mafiosos.
The young Jajo is brought up in a pathological family. The only person close to him is his grandmother who lives in an old scrambling house in the suburbs. The boy helps her out around the house and also, from time to time, brings some groceries. The boys gets money by stealing, most often car radios. Jajo is fascinated by real car thieves. He knows everything about them; who belongs where in the hierarchy, what car theft and legalization look like and he can also overcome cars’ security systems. One day he steals a luxurious Jaguar which belongs to a famous composer Seweryn. The car is equipped with a phone so the thief and the owner get involved in a verbal power play. Seweryn does not believe the boy can actually start the car, but Jajo finds a way to do it. The phone also kicks off a fascination with the composer’s daughter – Julia. Jajo wonders whether to return the car to its owner or give it to the mafia, which he would like to join. The gangster Maks is also after the car. The boy’s friend and mentor – owner of a car repair workshop – Wyskocz – helps Jajo out. Facing a huge risk, he saves the boy from the gangsters. Jajo wants to fulfill his grandmother’s greatest dream, which is going to the church. Before returning the car to its owner, he takes his grandmother in the Jaguar and drops her off at the very stairs leading up the cathedral.
