Gentle Edi and his friend Jurek work as scrap-metal pickers in a grimy urban area. They spend their money on vodka. Interestingly, in the hovel they share at the edge of town, Edi's most valuable possession is a library of found classics that he keeps in an abandoned refrigerator. Unfortunately, Edi's literary bent draws the attention of the fearsome brothers, two vulgar and ruthless men, who run various illegal businesses. They demand that Edi tutor their 17-year-old sister Princess, whom they try to keep under lock and key. Princess, however, is not interested in studying, She is having an illicit relationship with an associate of her brothers called Gypsy. When Princess discovers that she is pregnant, she accuses Edi of rape and sparks a painful cycle of revenge and redemption.
