On their escape from a torrid city, Noah, Motte and Samuel have to find shelter in an abandoned cabin in the forest. They are exhausted from their journey and their water supplies are almost depleted. As the the light of embers threatens to catch up with them, they are overcome with doubt - is it even possible to escape the nearing danger?

As a child, we live in a carefree timelessness. But this, too, passes, and the person who grows up is increasingly confronted with temporal limitations.

David has already endured multiple unsuccessful attempts at detox, and his latest stay in a clinic ends with yet another dropout. Just when he finds a fleeting sense of freedom, his return to addiction is abruptly derailed when all the doors that once were open to him suddenly slam shut. Overwhelmed by debt, he loses his apartment, and his depressed mother withdraws all support as a form of self-protection. He is lacking both money and drugs, and even his social worker, Stefan, only grudgingly allows him to stay overnight — merely with the intent of returning him to rehab the next day. In search of escape, David dives into a night of excess that leads to a monumental blackout.
