Olda (17) is an accused waiting for his trial in a detention centre for juveniles. He tries to ll the void and forget the recent past. The monotone prison life is slowly intertwined by testimonies about his brutal assault of a homeless man. It took one summer night for the holiday boredom to turn into a cruel fun that resulted in death. In prison, Olda reminisces about describing the violence he committed back then. Gradually he recalls pieces of the police reconstruction, when he had to replay the whole assault. However, his memory is just as imperfect and incomplete as the effort to understand the unreasonable violence.
