In the 1990s, many strange business organizations were centered around border crossings leading to western neighbors. One of the worst of these "businesses" was child prostitution. Fifteen-year-old Tomek is a successful student and he'd like to further deepen his knowledge in astronomy. When he falls in love with the same-aged Marta, he needs to quickly earn some money in order to take care of her. His life takes an uncompromising journey to the bottom of human dignity – he becomes a "Piggie". This is a person who sells his body to gay tourists for anything they can give him: money, food, jewelry, designer clothing. (Zlín Film Festival)
