The lives of two boys converge at the central train station in Warsaw a day before Christmas. One is a teen prostitute nicknamed Luksus (Luxury) and the other is a beggar with a dog. The older one, because of his age, has just finished his ‘career’. The younger one is only a step away from it as he has come into possession of a valuable notebook with the addresses and telephone numbers of clients. A local taxi driver, the main client and agent in the underage sex business, offers Luksus a job as a tout.Will the boy exploit his younger friend or will he help him escape paedophiles’ clutches? Painfully realistic, photographed in the authentic setting of the station, Sztandera’s film touches upon a real problem often ignored by Polish cinema. FILM REPRESENTED BY THE KRAKOW FILM FOUNDATION
