story

Two girls in love rent a room in one Zagreb's building. They are happy because they think they've found a small, hidden place for their love. They don't know yet that entering doors of that building is entering the doors of hell.

thoughts

• Suffocated life. Intolerance. Free-living. Love and love deviations.
• Masses of suffocated people walking through streets, shopping in big supermarkets.
• Life is not in supermarkets.
