“Outsiders” is about youth looking for a place to belong. Kęstutis is in a drug-dealing criminal gang. Arni is struggling with an alcoholic father at home. Both young men spend their days on a basketball court to escape their realities. This is where they meet Wyte – the father of streetball in Lithuania. Inspiring them with his remarkable tricks, Wyte creates a community where young men can express themselves and grow together to overcome their obstacles.
