Director

Michał Grzybowski

Year

At a Kashubian campsite, surrounded by a lake and a forest, where families, couples, and singles come searching for a holiday break, new relationships form and conflicts escalate. Some fall in love, whilst others begin to resent each other. While the adults struggle to communicate, the children, left to their own devices, construct a world of their own, fuelled by Kashubian legends and scary stories. When, one morning, holidaymakers discover punctured tyres on their cars, the atmosphere thickens and mutual animosities come to the fore.
