Restless teens, trapped in poverty, spend their days in discos and cafés, swapping talk of motorcycles, women and society. With few jobs and some still students, they plan a robbery of a wealthy man, believing it their last shot at cash. The heist goes awry when they clash with rival punks, get arrested, and are thrown into the brutal Korydalos prison, where a sadistic warden who calls himself “God” subjects them to relentless beatings and torture. The film portrays their grim struggle for survival.
