In 1970s, the Ciraulos are modest scrap-dealers whose uneventful lives are turned upside-down the day their youngest daughter is accidentally killed by clumsy killers. Their immense grief is alleviated by a huge sum of money allotted by the government. This is their chance of a lifetime to improve their conditions. What to do with all that money? The father decides to buy a Mercedes, which soon becomes the apple of his eye. Therefore, the moment he finds a scratch on it, the drama erupts..
