Three young friends come up with a way to fake incredibly expensive train tickets. They manage to travel all over Europe, but somehow the news spreads among the youth, and the trio is flooded with requests from friends and acquaintances to sell tickets.

In 1990s Hungary, traveling is finally possible but unaffordable. By forging international train tickets, three young men open the borders for a whole generation.
With the fall of the Iron Curtain, Hungary's borders suddenly opened up. Everyone wants to travel to Western Europe - young people in particular - but the price of a train ticket is prohibitive.
What good is freedom if you can't afford it?
Ákos, Petya and Laci discover a simple method of using household detergents to dissolve Pelikan's blue carbon ink, allowing them to forge train tickets to any destination. Over time, they become professional and infamous forgery artists. For a long time, everything goes along smoothly, but when the police start an investigation, the friends discover that freedom comes at a price.
