Únos domů
Libor is a teenager who, in a matter of minutes, finds himself transported from the exclusive world of today's wealthy elite, with its opulent villas, snobbish parties, expensive private schools, and chauffeur-driven cars, into a situation where he must fight for his life. There is no turning back from the path he embarks on. He loses everything, even his own name, but what he stands to gain is so appealing to him that he does not hesitate to take the risk.
