A long weekend by the Black Sea. Bogdan, having only recently become a father, wants to finally enjoy some peace and quiet together with his family. On the beach however the couple find themselves talking past one another, having grown apart via the contrasting experiences of everyday working life and caring for a newborn child. The sudden appearance of old college friends forces Bogdan to make a decision: family life or a retrospective dive into postpuberty. He decides for the latter, but no longer finds the self-fulfilment he once did.

This intimate study evolves with almost documentary incisiveness, unobtrusive in observation and yet almost depressingly close to the emotions generated by the protagonists' life crises.
