Storyline

Based on the real story of Peter Baláž, nicknamed Koza (Goat), a boxer who participated the Olympics in Atlanta 1995 and now, as a retired sportsman, has to do a final tour for money.

“With his girlfriend Miška, he is now living in poverty in a settlement on the outskirts of the town. Miška finds out that she is pregnant. While Goat wants a child of his own, she refuses outright to give birth because they are heavily in debt with no relief in sight. She intends to have an abortion and leaves Goat, moving in with her parents. Goat then decides to earn the money he needs in the ring.”
