In the summer of 1997, we find twelve-year-old Ro in the middle of a well-planned operation aimed at obtaining a pirated video tape.
Ro lives with her aggressive older brother and a constantly absent working mother. She tries to relieve the stain of conforming to these two family figures by staking a claim on an independent life of her own.
For months she has been pilfering a film-magazine from her neighbors' mailbox in order to feed her appreciation
of cinema.
Several dozen magazine copies later, she is enthralled by a bombastic headline, which states, that every true cinephile must
have watched the first movie of avant-garde filmmaker David Lynch - Eraserhead.
The young film lover quickly becomes obsessed with the film, and she decides to obtain the video tape at all cost.
Ro's brother rules over their TV set, provincial thugs, spying neighbors and blistering heat dominate the streets, and the
acquisition of the tape depends on the goodwill of an authoritative nerd. Ro faces this hostile world all alone, and she has to rely on her skills and charm.
She is determined to do all it takes to put the pirated video tape in her knitted bag and bring it home.
