Upon her arrival at an institution for people with mental disabilities, Maria becomes fast friends with the equally fiery Dragana. When it becomes clear that they are both in love with the more withdrawn Robert, their relationship gradually grows into a dangerous game of hide-and-seek to win him over. Being condemned to a lifetime of hiding away from society, the three teenagers' profound longing for independence and human connection takes hold.

Ikić directed from his own script and the key roles are played by: Marijana Novakov, Tijana Marković, Valentino Zenuni, Maruša Majer and Goran Bogdan.
