Synopsis:
Tomek (14) is a good student. He is interested in astronomy and, to please his father, he also plays football. The problem is that he lives in a small, poor town with a high unemployment rate, while wealthy Germany is as near as across the river. Tomek meets Marta at the disco and falls in love with her. He starts looking for a job to earn some money and attract her attention. He gets in touch with a pimp, who spots local boys for German customers. Tomek does not realise what nightmare is ahead of him.
Comments:
In the local Polish-German borderline slang, "Piggies" means prostituted teenagers; children who sell themselves not only for money but for anything: cosmetics, clothes, electronic devices.
