Embittered widower, Ludvik, spends his nights transporting illegal refugees in his van from Croatia, across Slovenia, and into Italy. The young and inexperienced Rudi acts as his helpmate. Together they become a well-trained duo who almost every night convey "spare parts" to Italy. Of course the story of their illegitimate exports into Europe ends tragically, for everyone. The whole idea of this account is that everyone - including ourselves - is looking for happiness: the "spare parts" because of the misery they are plunged into without, and our characters because they can't find it inside

Krško je majhno industrijsko mesto blizu južne slovensko-hrvaške meje. Tu živi Ludvik, nekdanji državni prvak v spidveju, danes pa zagrenjen vdovec. Preživlja se tako, da vsako noč s kombijem prevaža ilegalne prebežnike od hrvaške do italijanske meje. Šef mu nekega dne pošlje za pomočnika mladega in neizkušenega Rudija, ki ga tarejo moralne dileme. Fanta se spoprijateljita, hodita na dirke in skoraj vsako noč mimo jedrske elektrarne prevažata begunce z vseh koncev sveta. A sčasoma se Rudi znebi moralnih pomislekov.
