A young girl escapes from home because she is fed up with what surrounds her. The skinny guy is a freak who lives in a camper. They meet at the railing and begin their journey together through the landscapes corroded with acid rains at the same time wandering through consecutive stages of consciousness. Taking a hitch-hiker will change forever the complicated relationship between them and the colourful visions will transform into a dark thriller. A psychedelic trip with electronic music to the land of hallucinations with an unexpected twist in the finale.
