Modris (17) is neither better, nor worse than any of his peers. He lives with his mother, but though she has raised him, their relationship is poor. This is most likely due to his obsession with gambling. A downhill spiral in their lives begins when Modris pawns his mother’s electric heater in order to squeeze out a win on the slot machines. The simmering conflict with his mother boils over, and she betrays him by reporting him to the police. |
