Storyline

Matteo is fifteen. A fragile boy. He runs in the woods carrying his baby brother. A desperate attempt to strike his oppressive father.

He sits in a car that climbs up a steep mountain road. The parent’s punishment for kidnapping the baby. Four months of hard work on a remote farm.

Three hostile teenagers grab Matteo and lock him into a dog cage. The farmer, supposed to handle the kids, has lost control. Anton, an unpredictably aggressive boy, is now in charge. He has given shelter to two more troubled, angry teenagers: Dion, a boy from Serbia and Aline, a girl with short cut hair.

Matteo is their dog. Only when he starts to stand up against them he earns their respect. He joins them on a mission: They drive down to the city. A feverish night full of violence and destruction. Their war. Revenge against grown-ups - against everything. Matteo gets stronger, learns to fight and falls in love with Aline. He is part of the pack. The farm is their perfect hideout.
