Toni reaches Rome with the big dream in his eyes of becoming an artist. Soon, he sees that his rare talent is catching the attention of people for all the wrong reasons. Disappointed by that, he becomes a bad person. Instead of fame from exhibitions and art galleries, he became known for riskier things.
