Long, long time ago in America... Two teenagers, Anka and Dżastina, like having fun dreaming about a better life. They are inseparable friends, who decide to go hitch-hiking, because they find everyday life too boring. Inoffensive at first, the adventure slowly turns into an emotional roller-coaster, where the truth merges with fiction...
