Synopsis
The film follows the character of twenty-year-old Stázka, who arrives at a mountain cabin to celebrate the New Year with her former classmates. She hopes that escaping civilization and being off the grid will stop her from dwelling on her own mental instability and that among friends and her ex-boyfriend Matěj, she will once again find a safe space for sharing. However, the confined space of the cabin, besides its warmth and familiarity, also accumulates all the negative emotions, making it difficult for Stázka to hide her inner sense of isolation from the group. The only person who seems to be in a similar position is Matěj's new girlfriend Marie, and despite her own struggles, Stázka offers Marie the support she herself is lacking.
