In a world threatened by a solar fragment hurtling towards Earth, an eighteen-year-old boy gets stranded on his way to a friend’s cottage in an unfamiliar small town. A series of bizarre adventures force him to confront his greatest fears – coming to terms with the reality of the twisted world he lives in. Vincek feels crippled by his stagnant youth without a clear future, in a world threatened by a cosmic threat, and searches for answers for basic existential questions. A friend convinces him to leave the burning city for a cottage where his friends are hiding from the stifling heat. What should have been an ordinary journey to nature turns into a condensed initiation process. Vincek encounters both violence and kindness, and faces a series of unexpected and unpleasant challenges.
