A young man in his twenties leaves prison after a three-year sentence. He wants to start a new life in a place where he is not known and dreams only of a job, a wife and a family.

He becomes a pawn in one camp while remaining true to his ideals in the other. Filmed in 1976 and shelved for five years.
