SYNOPSIS

After spending the morning with her young lover, Mina – an attractive thirty year old, goes to Belgrade airport to pick up her handsome husband Petar and his colleague. On the way back, she silently listens to them talk about their trip. At home, while Petar is asleep, Mina disappears. Petar goes to their friends’ party as planned, telling them she felt sick. But as she doesn’t appear the next day, he just keeps on lying. In the constant summer heat, Petar can’t sleep and spends the nights running. He tries to turn to someone, but both his friends and his family are consumed with their own issues. His inner demons have been unleashed and maybe he is not as kind as he thought he was, which petrifies him. He won’t admit anything’s wrong, but his emotions are pouring out and the more he tries to suppress them, the harder they hit back.
