Hana is a shy sixteen-year-old girl, secretly in love with a schoolmate from the local duo Luka & Balsha known from social media. The next morning Hana loses her father. While the family argues about what a "proper" funeral looks like, Hana faces her mother’s inability to resist the demands of men. Disappointed and confused, Hana runs away to the lake. There a new disappointment awaits her. Hana very quickly realizes that Balsha is not just a boy with whom she shares mutual feelings. An emotional mess arises, outbursts of jealousy, hidden violence in the triangle with Luka and Balsha. Hana is offered a choice whether to stay silent about what happened or to finally take a stand.
