About
A married couple, Kornel (55) and Hana (50), are fixing hiking trail marks in the woods. Kornel feels like woodsman discovering new, unexplored places. He is secretly hoping that this adventure will save their stagnant, childless relationship, but at the same time, he has no courage to depart from the marked trail. Hana’s personality has dissolved during her long-term partnership with Kornel. She only tries to make her husband happy and if Hana happens to dream from time to time, she ends up feeling guilty. It doesn't take long for the couple to get lost, neither of them being able to return to the hiking trail. Scared, lonely and powerless, Kornel and Hana must learn how to survive.
