Concrete Rodents

Τρωκτικά του μπετόν

In a bid to become socially and financially emancipated within a status quo that uses insecurity and violence to obliterate any kind of hope for tomorrow, a group of friends dance on the verge of moral delinquency, walking a fine line between legality and illegality. Will the light of their choices shine along their way?
