About film

A former prisoner now works as a mechanic on the outskirts of the city. One day, he recognizes a client as someone connected to his traumatic past. Driven by a desire for justice, he kidnaps the man — but lingering doubts won’t let him act. Searching for others who share his fate, he brings together fellow witnesses. Together, they must identify the man and decide what to do with him.
