A secondary-school girl, Lara, drowns in a river near a weekend house outside Ljubljana while running from her classmate Albert, after his friend Valter has raped her. Her brother Robert comes home from Australia and, together with Lara's former schoolmate and lover Veronika, devises a plan to take revenge on the two young men, posing as a buyer for Valter's weekend house. But the visit leads to a new crime that binds Valter and Albert together. As one of them feels nothing and the other is eaten away by guilt, a psychological thriller unfolds about urban people trapped by paranoia, loneliness and fear, and by their own desire for revenge and violence.
