During winter, two young men travel to the coast. Martin has to visit distant relatives to get a document for his father. Tomaz joins him, as an opportunity to reconnect with his friend. The two spend their days immersed in their own universe, experiencing rejection from Martin’s family and the weird distance that has grown between them. Going from casual distractions to reflections on their lives and friendship, the boys shelter themselves in a glass house, at the shore of a cold and raging sea.
