Synopsis:

Fourteen year old Arvids lives in a small village and spends most of his time daydreaming about his future plans together with his best friend Klavs. One morning, while jogging, Arvids unintentionally finds himself in a situation that makes him witness a dreadful manifestation of his own ferocious nature. As a result, Arvids starts to see an environment around him from a different perspective and ponders on his own future inside it. Arvids is faced with a decision – to give in to pressure of his peers or to take responsibility for the consequences of his own actions.
