El mundo de Marco se desmorona. El juego y el alcohol causan estragos en su casa, mientras que los matones en el colegio le hacen la vida imposible Twelve-year-old first-time actor Marko Kovacevic delivers a riveting performance in this wrenching drama about the pain and pitfalls of false hope. Marko, who is from an abusive family, is also the victim of his bullying schoolmates. He manages to find refuge in a beached train car and in his poetry. One of his teachers encourages his literary endeavors, but when the teacher falls prey to the same childish cruelties that torment Marko, the boy solicits the help of a violent mercenary instead.
