Dvije tinejdžerice, Anka i Dzastina,  maštaju o boljem životu. Ovim nerazdvojnim prijateljicama dojadila je svakodnevnica te stoga odluče autostopirati. Ono što je trebala biti nevina pustolovina pretvara se u emocionalnu igru u kojoj se istina isprepleće s fikcijom, a slijed događaja nepovratno mijenja odnose likova te njihove poglede na svijet.

Two teenagers – Anka and Dzastina – play around with dreams about a better life.  The two inseparable friends, bored with their everyday existence, decide to hitch-hike. A meant-to-be innocent adventure changes into an emotional game in which truth intertwines with fiction and the sequence of consecutive events irreversibly changes mutual relations of the characters and their perspective of existing world.
