Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A reclusive, thirty-seven year old pathologist named Tibor resorts to desperate measures in order to procure the medication that may save his dying mother's life in this stylish and challenging crime thriller from first time director Attila Gigor. Tibor may not be the most sociable man ever to walk the earth, thought he's always been a devoted son and now that his mother is dying of cancer he'll do everything in his power to keep her alive. Upon learning that a potential cure for his mother's cancer has been made available in Sweden, Tibor determines to save up enough money so that he can travel abroad and purchase the medicine. Just then, a mysterious one-eyed man called Cyclops offers Tibor a sizable amount of cash if he will carry out a simple assassination. But while Tibor hastily agrees to carry out the assassination without even knowing the identity of his intended target, the letter he receives after the job has been carried out contains a truly devastating piece of information.
