Synopsis
After a sudden breakup and before leaving for a seasonal job, Petar goes on a pre-paid couples’ vacation with his closest friend, Kristian. Instead of relaxing on the sunny coast, they face frustrations in a small tourist town that reminds them of the problems they were trying to escape – the breakup and Kristian’s recent loss of his father.
Recreational activities, local cuisine, hanging out with girls – absolutely nothing goes according to plan. Passed out drunk, Petar gets badly sunburned the first morning. To make matters worse, an unexpected third guest arrives – Petar’s ex, Dorotea.
Awkwardly crammed into a room meant for two, the trio decides on one final outing where the problems can no longer be ignored. At the end of an emotionally exhausting vacation, Petar returns to work as a better friend to Kristian, Dorotea, and himself.
