Follows a young couple whose lives are turned so completely upside down over the course of a few hours that they reach a point of no return. Mihai is a stressed-out teacher from Bucharest. After a difficult week, he and his lover Sweetie decide to go on a picnic. However, the day takes a sharp turn when Sweetie accidentally runs over Ana, a prostitute who was lying in the road on their way out of town. Not realizing she is actually still alive, they attempt to bury the body in a nearby forest, and when Ana unexpectedly recovers, they feign concern for her well-being. Ana ends up joining the couple's picnic and then gradually ingratiates herself into their lives, manipulating them and playing them off each other.
