Story
Petr is a courier, a messenger as a matter of fact. He is one of those young men who believe that on their bikes they have become part and parcel of the atmosphere of modern cities. He is a non-conformist who refuses to settle into today‘s deformed society, he abhors its indolence, consumerism and lies, as well as its pseudo-truths, pseudo-feelings, pseudo-loves and pseudo-values. Petr’s untrammelled personality keeps causing more and more serious problems. And Petr is also one of those who will never admit to themselves that they might be at the end of their tether.
Summary
Petr, a courier by profession and non-conformist by nature, navigates the modern city on his bike, believing he's part of its pulsating heart. He scorns society's indolence, consumerism, lies, and pseudo-values, preferring authenticity over conformity. Yet, Petr's unyielding personality fuels escalating problems, as he refuses to acknowledge even his own limits.
