The film follows life of a young African who came to the Czech Republic around eight years ago, running away from his native country where he suffered oppression. He came to the Czech Republic when he was sixteen and had already experienced racial discrimination. His story became even more dramatic when he ended up in prison, sentenced to seven months for extortion. The case was marked by many flaws and irregularities. Deprivation of freedom and race-based discrimination are just some of the human rights violated in this case. In the meantime, protests on his behalf are organized by his friends in the Czech Republic. The film follows most of the court proceedings, exploring the mechanisms and personal stories in order to provide more information on race-based discriminatory practices that are usually either hidden or not spoken of in public.
