A young intellectual, Mati, engineers himself into the situation that he has to spend a weekend with his wife Helina and her lover Edouard. The trio goes to Edouard's summer house, surrounded by the majestic scenery of big forests and an empty beach. Mati, either out of jealousy or pride, has decided to win back his wife and will do anything his introverted and inert mind can come up with. What is love? Who can believe in such a thing? Is there anything at all to believe in?
