Branko can’t sleep. Something about his brother seems off, but there’s no one to talk about it. Branko follows him through the city’s passageways and parks, shadowing his every step. With each corner he turns, a terrible realization looms - his brother isn’t the strange one. He is. An unexpected telephone call from a forgotten friend breaks the surrounding silence. The voice urges him to leave the city behind and step into the unknown.
