On the first day of their holiday, Janka and Gergő's relationship turns into a battlefield. What begins as an innocent, playful role-play gradually strips them of their inhibitions, and the deeper they immerse themselves in the game, the further they drift apart.

Created as an exam short film within the BA in Motion Picture programme at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), the class was led by Gábor Ferenczi.
