Synopsis
Every summer, four best friends spend a few days in the mountains in a remote place in Slovenia. But their friendship was shattered years ago by an event at a party. When they want to face each other and start anew, they get involved with a strange family and the situation soon spirals out of control.
Director
Director's statement
As a child, I watched and read thrillers a lot. This inspired me to finish the faculty of Law & Criminal Investigation. I decided to shoot a thriller because not many genre movies are made in Slovenia. Also, the percentage of females in leading roles is still very low.
