For the last fifteen years, three boys accompanied by the father of one of them have spent each summer holiday together to make another horror film, using spectacular landscapes and mysterious locations scattered all around Poland. They would never think that this fascinating adventure can become an inherent part of their life. When they do not pretend to be making a real film, they spend their nights by a fire, discussing life, love, disappointments, failures, and successes, before going to sleep in a tent. One of the topics is their friendship – will it last for ever?
