Pete is 17 years old and an avid guitarist. During a performance with his school band, he suddenly passed out. The diagnosis he receives is not a nice one because he has cancer and the doctor cannot even guarantee that he will live to see his 18th birthday. In the hospital, Pete meets Jusa, who shares the room with him, and quickly becomes friends with the terminally ill man.
Jusa's 18th birthday is celebrated with vodka and, accordingly tipsy, the friends decide to leave the hospital. They want to fulfill their greatest wish before they die. Jusa would like to see the beaches of Mombasa once , as these are the subject of his favorite song. Pete, on the other hand, wants to confess his love to Kata, whom he knows from school.
