A young man with debts to loan sharks decides that he is tired of everyday life and tries to start his new life in nature.

Near Čačak, in the village of Rošci on Kablar, there is a small population, mostly elderly, residing in the tavern called “Kod Odže”, where the spirit of the village is preserved. The tavern serves as a central gathering place and hub of activity, where its regular visitors exist and create art out of leisure. Time at “Kod Odže” has no definition or duration; it exists in the present moment and becomes unique in that way.

People accustomed to living in urban areas gradually lost touch with the primordial and in the reduced presence of civilization began to feel a certain anxiety. Darkness occupied the spaces, changing their content and essence, leaving the exposed observer completely alone. The atmosphere of the film creates a feeling of alienation that insists on the discomfort caused by the mere presence of darkness. The boundaries between the external world and inner fear are erased, and darkness becomes all-encompassing.
