In May 2010, a 28-year-old engineering student and ambitious musician, Larry Gus, gets the chance to realize his dream. He drops his master's studies in Barcelona and creeps back into his childhood bedroom to record an album for an American music label. His friend, Vassilis Katsoupis, also starts filming: the effort, the ups and downs, friendship bonds and still moments of everyday life; the struggle to make it. Will Larry Gus reach his music destination instead of succumbing to his bank clerk fate? Will he manage to prove his father wrong and actually make something out of it? In the course of three years of shooting, from Athens to New York to Milan and back to his birthplace in Veria, Greece, many things have changed. And, magically enough, many things have remained the same. In May 2010, a 28-year-old engineering student and ambitious musician, Larry Gus, gets the chance to realize his dream.
