Tom, who is twelve, lives in small Polish village. Lonely and with no friends, he spends all of his time in a garage, learning from the local mechanic how to repair and assemble cars. Cars are Tom's passion. However, life is not that simple, even when you are a child. Tom's mother was killed in a car crash and his father left him so he now lives with his grandparents. Frustrated with his strict grandpa and his classmates who keep harassing him, Tom decides to find his father. He sets out on a journey through southern Poland. At first, it seems it will all end up badly, but then he meets mysterious Gabriel who helps him and joins him in his quest. With a help from his new friend, Tom comes closer to his goal, and is also about to reveal an old family secret.
