The film follows seven days of a young gypsy, with a short excerpt from each day. Through these brief 'life' images, the film gives a dark and fragmented portrait of Kristóf, similar in style to Hungarian fiction documentaries of the 1970s and 1980s. A life at a standstill with no possibility of change is documented in the figure of the protagonist: Kristóf has neither the social background nor the education to turn his fate around.
