Life is sunny and carefree for young Michal and Karina. The two Polish students meet in Valencia, Spain, where they have holiday jobs, and fall in love on the spot. But then Michal becomes involved in a fight in which someone dies and suddenly everything is different. The world that only a few moments earlier seemed so available falls apart, slowly yet inevitably. The mountainous landscape that was at first idyllic now becomes a threat. The tender holiday love turns into a nightmare.
The protagonists - Jakub Gierszal, who is already known as the Polish James Dean and who drives round in this film on a big motorbike, and the former model Magdalena Berus - balance between hysteria, despair and emotional sincerity. Their mutual chemistry and intense acting makes this film more than a fateful love story. Lasting is close-up investigation into the humain condition.
