Synopsis

It's summer, and small-time hood Joe Piswater is obsessed by only one thing: changing his life for the better.

He finds a casual job in construction in the mansion of a judge. This opportunity lets him meet the girl of his dreams, the Judge's sublime daughter Stephany. Meanwhile, his best friend Tony Pepperoni has chosen to make some dough during the vacation. He teams up with local notorious big shot Zoran, with whom he takes out a big credit. He decides to branch out on his own. Unwise decision. The debts pile up, troubles also. In particular, when he decides to break off a demanding love story with Emmanuelle, a passionate militant who is revealed to be a... cop.

Looking for help, Tony takes refuge at his old pal Joe's. Unfortunately, Tony's actions quickly ruin Joe's dreams. The summer is only beginning...

An hilarious action-packed comedy based on urban culture.
