Thirteen‑year‑old Bartek desperately hides the fact that his father beats him. Isolated at home, lacking support from his mother or school, and tyrannized by his soccer coach, he feels utterly alone. The only companion he finds is an old, dying stray dog, whose fragile bond offers him a brief refuge from his harsh reality.
