Tibor and Niki. Father and daughter. Both as charismatic as they are headstrong. She lives with her grandparents in a small prefabricated apartment; he’s just been released from prison. When Niki finds this out, she’s desperate to see him — though her grandmother disapproves. Nevertheless, Niki wants to reconnect with him, even though Tibor initially rejects this. He has a hard time accepting responsibility for the past. But both father and daughter are determined to somehow grow closer again.
