Olda (17) is an accused waiting for his trial in a detention centre for juveniles. He tries to fill the void and forget the recent past. The monotony of prison life is intertwined by testimonies about his brutal assault of a homeless man. It took one summer night for the holiday boredom to turn into a cruel fun that resulted in death.
Olda recalls fragments of the police reconstruction of his crime. However, his memory is as imperfect and incomplete as efforts to understand the unjustified violence.
Memory is just as imperfect as the effort to understand the violence.
