Drugi plan

From the moment we got engaged and set a wedding date, we began thinking about the reasons we chose one another. What was so special about this relationship that we decided to spend our lives together? Would our love be the same if we were born in another time or at another place? What is love exactly? Driven by those questions, we decided to embark on a one year journey around the world to research whether love, one of the highest values in our lives, is universal, or it is completely conditioned by the circumstances around us.

An early summer evening begins with a game, while one kid counts to three thousand, the others hide in a row of suburban gardens. During that time, a young father spends the rest of his day with someone else’s child, an old man awaits a call that will change his life and the future of a year-long friendship becomes uncertain. The game ends when mosquitoes start rising from the grass.

At the age of 16 Ana was locked up in a psychiatric hospital by her parents, who arranged the treatment to cure her homosexuality. After all she went through, she longs for a girl who won’t think of her as insane. She finds all that in Martina, her new love, who she plans to marry. However, Martina’s patience wanes with time as she finds Ana more obsessed with her traumatic past than with the life they’re sharing together.

Something happens. Time slows down. Two people are trapped in a space of tragedy. But, even when everything is burnt to the ground, hope remains.
