Synopsis:
Three young friends from childhood are going on a
weekend, to a small house located in the middle of the
forest. There is nobody around. Just peace and silence.
On their way they take Maya, young hitchhiker, who
appears on the road, out of nowhere. When they
arrive to the house on the hill, everything seems to be
ok. When the time pass, Adam ( former soldier )
begins to have suspicions on his girlfriend. He accuses
her of betrayal, not having any evidence. Adam is
getting more and more paranoid and starts to terrorize
all four, cutting them way to escape from his imaginary
accusations. The situation from idyllic changes into
nightmare. During the night, Adam disappears from
the house. After that scary things start. Maya is an
accidental observer of the dramatic events, that take
place in this deserted area. Everything coincides with
unusually high electromagnetic activity of the sun ...

Why I did this film?
Maybe because I was in Afghanistan and it made big
influence on me. Maybe I want to tell the story about
love and revenge. About being bored. Maybe I
wanted to make a thriller. To play with another way of
narration. There is many reasons why this film
appeared in my head. But the most important is that I
believe, that the story i worth to tell.
