Strong and precise clutches, full concentration, sweat, a blanket and a bicycle. No head start. Two brothers and two paths that cross one evening, extremely important for the younger one. Kuba is preparing for his first half-professional wrestling fight. Within several hours he must lose four kilograms. It is possible but requires immense sacrifice. Unexpectedly, his elder brother comes to his aid. However, his intentions are not entirely selfless and Kuba faces a dilemma that will impact not only his sporting career but also family relations. This disciplined cinema with a realistic touch makes you feel as if you were practicing together with Kuba and you both needed to decide what to do next.
