Simultaneously, Karol crosses paths with Danka, a photographer working for the local newspaper who is slightly older than him. Karol finds himself drawn into a complex web of intrigue and desire, torn between his growing affection for Danka and his macabre fascination with the suspected killer. As Karol's obsession deepens, he faces an imminent choice that could forever alter his life.
