During the summer holidays, Maks (16) and his older sister Emma (19) are sent to the Polish countryside to care for their ailing grandmother. Trapped together in the heavy, stifling isolation of the summer heat, the siblings' bond begins to shift into something unsettling and difficult to define. As tensions rise and boundaries begin to blur, their grandmother's frail presence takes on an increasingly disturbing quality, turning a once-idyllic summer into a haunting passage into adulthood.
