In a sleepy Northern Greek village, Stavros, the humble owner of a struggling local bar, and Fotis, his impulsive partner and childhood friend, decide to change their lives. After all, they've hit rock bottom. Their risky plan involves exchanging American dollars for Bulgarian levs and profiting from the difference in currency exchange rates. As a result, the two inexperienced opportunists embark on a challenging journey through the late 1990s Balkans in a rickety Peugeot 404. At last, a plan to set them up for life. However, foolproof schemes don't exist. With unforeseen complications standing in the way of success, the overambitious companions must prepare themselves to face what awaits them at the end of this long road trip, as East meets West.
