Synopsis

Amigo is a former spy, an honest criminal, a "kung-fu" fighter (...wherever I land my fist, grass will never grow again...), a poet and a local hero from Tolmin. Amigo tries to preserve his moral firmness and his lifestyle in spite of the unstable social circumstances in Slovenia, a country in transition. The price he is forced to pay for his moral stand is very high. He hits a wall head-on - symbolically and literally. Just as the French medieval poet Francois Villon, he appears to be serving both, God and the Devil.
