Synopsis

Laci is a 16-year old gypsy boy, who lives off casual jobs. One day, he gets picked up from the streets along with a small group of workers for a construction job. He has to participate in the completion of a wall that surrounds a series of tenement buildings. The film follows the various stages of the construction as Laci helps out the other workers. In the end, Laci is asked to complete the work. He now takes his first look beyond the wall, which holds an unusual revelation for him.

Director's comment

I couldn't bear the idea that even today, people in power and rulers of cities exercise the same practices to a certain social phenomenon labelled as a problem, that were used 60 years ago. This is the reason why I've chosen to make this short, using 35mm film for the first time in my life. It was made to warn people, that it isn't the right path!
