Rok is a lonely kleptomaniac whose aimless life takes an unexpected turn when he steals a bicycle from a mysterious girl who spends her nights fighting crime. To break the monotony of his night shifts at a gas station, Rok keeps himself busy stealing chocolate bars.

If he wants to see her again, Rok must come up with a cunning plan: stealing her bike.

Declaration

film director

“I am deeply interested in people who are mostly quiet, shy, and to a point enjoy solitary existence. These people often go unnoticed in everyday life, yet they possess a unique strength in their quietness. I always wanted to put them in roles of vulnerable heroes and antiheroes. This is a story about boredom and the search for friendship in very strange circumstances.”
