Tanya is 35, with a successful career. Her husband Mare is an architect. One Friday, Tanya comes home late at night. Mare confronts her and they exchange some edgy words; Mare is clearly jealous, he loses control of himself and slaps her. Obviously, this is not the first time. Tanya locks herself in the bathroom. They continue their conversation through the locked door. Mare calms down, but when Tanya comes out of the bathroom, he becomes abusive again. The noise wakes up a neighbour, who reports them to the police. The police arrive and the couple calm down. When the policemen leave, the couple resorts to psychological abuse. What follows is a night of hateful and skilful twisting of words that step by step reveals all the dark secrets of their relationship. Behind the facade of a successful couple are suppressed feelings of inferiority, weakness, deceit, frustration and traumas from their youth. The whole story takes place during one night in an apartment in Ljubljana. Although the entire story actually takes place in real time (from 3:30 to 5:00 a.m.), it is highly condensed and emotional. The key question or the suspense is whether she will or will not walk out on him.
