What if what we have called love since childhood was something completely different? Fifteen-year-old Aňa grows up in the shadow of her older sister Hana. She longs for adulthood, parties, love, and recognition. When Hana involuntarily takes her among her friends, it seems that Anja's dream is finally coming true. For the first time, she experiences the adult world—its freedom, first love, but also danger. However, the night that was supposed to be full of innocent fun and first love takes an unexpected turn. Trust turns to pain, and reality harshly reminds her that some experiences cannot be undone. All of this changes both little Aňa and her sister Hana.
Total length of the screening 80 min. In original language with Czech and English subtitles.
