logline

While throwing a booze fueled party during the pandemic, a young man is haunted by the suspicion that something horrible happened to the lady across the street – and he might be responsible for it.

synopsis

After being isolated for months, five friends decide they can’t take any more solitude and start meeting regularly. Behind closed shutters they secretly drink, dance and laugh their sorrows away – until one of them realizes that the lights in the old lady’s apartment across the street have not been switched off for days. Ignoring the suspicion that something might have happened to her, they keep partying – not realizing that police are already on their way, both for them and the old lady.
