Goran is a middle-aged man in Zagreb attending a birthday party with his wife and daughter, but who, after a close encounter with death, is overwhelmed by a wave of existential anxiety.

After their mother's funeral, estranged siblings Nikola and Saša spend three days in their childhood home, clearing out their mother's belongings and preparing the house for sale. Trying to postpone the inevitable, they also try to clean up their relationship. Failing to communicate as adults, they regress into childhood…

A persistent rain falls on Zagreb. That day Janko finally decides to take the threads of his life in his own hands. For him this means, before anything, an attempt to establish a relationship with Iva who he has wanted to approach for some time followed by dealing with his aging father Franjo, a miserable translator who needs an escort to an award ceremony where he will receive an award for lifetime achievement. Iva and Franjo have their own secrets that they don't want to keep to themselves and also ideas of how this rainy day should go. Someone should, in the end, walk the dog.

The thematic framework of the anthology feature film DEEP CUTS is violence in all of its forms: as a destruction of intimacy, family, integrity, trust.
