away from here

Leon Avcı rides his racing bike through the dreary high-rise land- scapes of his youth. Without any concrete plan, he battles his way through life with jobs that are mostly half-legal, but still hopes to escape his milieu somehow. When he meets Christina, he becomes determined to clear off with her... To France? Canada? Just away from here!
