About the film
In a remote village, Šimon stumbles into an awkward encounter with his estranged friend, Ida. After missing the last bus and with no way out of the situation, he accepts her invitation to go for a beer together. Against the strange backdrop of the village, we follow Šimon and Ida as they try to get along. In reality, it is a slow and slightly uneasy process of finding their way back to each other. Trapped in an inescapable encounter, both are forced to confront unresolved grievances and adjust the fragile distance that still defines their quietly unconventional relationship.
