Story

When a hijacker takes control of a plane at Rīga Airport, an unexpected turn of events occurs when a seven-year-old boy travelling alone chooses to become part of the hostage situation. What follows is an unusual negotiation where the child's requests—ranging from local sweets to language learning materials—drive the unfolding events. The hijacker's demands become intertwined with the boy's creative wishes, leading to increasingly peculiar developments.
