(Obietnica)

A psychological drama set in present-day Szczecin, Poland. The protagonists are two love-stricken teenagers, who live in the suburbs of the seaside city. Under a guise of their so-called normal teenage lives, a heinous crime is planned and carried out. Lila (14) lives in a well-to-do suburb with her mother and her mother’s younger boyfriend. Her father, a lawyer, lives with his new family in Copenhagen, Denmark. Despite being divorced, her parents are close.

Three weeks earlier Lila's nightmare came true. Her boyfriend, Janek (15), kissed another girl at a party. Unable to forgive him, Lila gives Janek an ultimatum just days before the end of the school year. He has 24 hours to prove his love or forget about Lila forever.
