After two years, director Eliška Přádová returns to Finále Plzeň with another dive into the mind of a young woman in a psychologically stressful situation. After the athlete, Viktoria, this time she focuses on twenty-year-old Stázka, who goes with a group of former classmates to celebrate the New Year at a mountain cottage, far from the hustle and bustle of the big city. And maybe also as far away from her own mind as possible. But in the closed environment, all her suppressed emotions soon start to surface, and the presence of her ex-boyfriend Matěj doesn't help either. But Stázka soon notices that she is not alone - Matěj's current girlfriend, Marie, seems similarly detached...
