Kai and Maris are a young couple living in Slovenia in the year 2030. All over the world, the state of war is becoming more and more alarming. In Slovenia, however, a totalitarian regime rules, which does not allow the individual any freedom. The story takes place at night when they try to escape. Will they make it? Are we really free?

Lucija, quiet and shy 15-year-old girl, enters the prominent Ljubljana’s Catholic high-school. If she meets her mother’s expectations about the grades, she will be awarded summer holidays at her aunt in Paris – a dream she has been having for years. Never having been practicing music, Lucija is surprised to be invited to join the school’s prominent girls’ chamber choir – a privilege offered to only the most talented first-year students. In the choir, Lucija meets the second year’s most popular and charismatic girl, Ana-Marija. After an intensive singing weekend at the convent, the two become friends.
