Tano, a teenager currently serving a sentence in a juvenile reform center, is given a 48-hour leave to attend his brother's wedding. Together with his best friend Richi, Tano plans to enjoy his 48-hour pass to the limit, doing all the things he is normally prohibited from doing. He gets drunk, takes drugs, steals, has sex and hangs out with his buddies. By the end of his 48-hour pass, Tano has also witnessed the collapse of all the things he takes for granted in his life: the neighborhood, his family, friends and loved ones - everything is somehow different for him. More than just two days of freedom, Tano's leave turns out to be a journey into maturity.
Tano, un adolescente que cumple una condena en un reformatorio, recibe un permiso de 48 horas para ir a la boda de su hermano. Junto con su mejor amigo Richi, Tano planea aprovechar plenamente estos dos días, hacienda todo lo que normalmente tiene prohibido: se emborracha, consume drogas, roba, fornica y vaga con sus amigos. Pero cuando terminan esas 48 horas, advierte que ha sido testigo del colapso de todo lo que daba por sentado en la vida: el barrio, su familia, los amigos y los seres queridos – todo le resulta ahora diferente. Más allá de los dos días con libertad de acción, Tano ha emprendido un viaje hacia la madurez.
