Synopsis
After witnessing the tragic scene of a car accident, twenty-three-year-old Cristi arrives at a friend’s party in an attic studio for a night of wild fun. The group of friends doesn’t seem too affected by his story, on the contrary, they seem keen on motivating him to party as hard as he can. He lets himself be persuaded and starts binge drinking and dancing like crazy, while puffing on the occasional joint – he’s having the time of his life. The party settles down, they sit in a circle and start telling seemingly random stories. Through drunken slurs of guy-talk, raw truths start to slip out and things take a turn for the worse.
