About

An idyllic Saturday morning at an ostrich farm. The family is preparing for breakfast. The mother has prepared cutlets, the girl helps set the table, and the father and son are taking care of ostrich eggs. The familyโ€™s peaceful everyday life is disrupted by an unexpected guest โ€” a Warden, who says that a teenager has disappeared in the town, and that their children are also involved in the case. Everything is thrown into confusion: unconfirmed facts, suspicions, denials, contradictory information, fabricated truths and factual realities replace one another, placing the family in imminent danger. What happens after the total denial of the truth, and how radical can this denial become? What happens when everyone believes nothing has happened?
