SYNOPSIS

Rio, a quiet young man from a village in central Istria, earns a living as a worker at a seaside hotel while occasionally slipping into petty theft. At home, he clashes with his grandmother over how best to care for his grandfather, who is living with dementia. One evening, Andrea, a worker at the beauty salon in the same hotel, notices Rio stealing and suggests that they join forces to take advantage of her wealthy clients.
