Synopsis

The script of the feature film debut by Filip Renč is based on a true event: a fourteen-year-old girl was placed in an institution for mentally ill instead of a foster-home due to an official mistake. In this melodramatic treatment we witness her meeting the cruel reality inside the institution which is governed by high-handedness of the spineless and perverse nurses. The girl attempts a desperate escape.
