Vid steals his grandfather's old van "Jaka" and starts an adventure of his lifetime, a road trip across Serbia and Bulgaria all the way to Turkey with Kaja and Veronika. As to get them out of the police bail, the Serbian famous gamer Baka Prase (Granny Pig) and his friend Tony unexpectedly join them.
