Plot synopsis
Danila is sixteen. Katia is twice his age. For hours he spies on her, hidden in a hut at the edge of the forest. The idea of ​​approaching her and being with her does not even cross his mind. Until the day when, on the threshold of Katia's house, Danila's father appears, eager to escape into Katia's embrace from his mountain of problems. Father and son are drawn into a whirlwind of events when people, who live on the same land, divide themselves between "them" and "us". The strong no longer hold back and despise the weak, causing a catastrophe for everyone.
