action
Four teenagers, two boys and two girls, meet on a bright Nordic summer night to spend a few hours together. They go to a party where the older of the two boys is giving pills with ketamine to the others. The other boy also takes a pill to prove he belongs to the group. The group stays at the party. The older of the two couples unabashedly flirts in front of the other and messes with each other. The two younger ones are more reserved and shy; they are attracted to each other too, but the boy does not dare to take the first step. Both fall asleep under the influence of drugs.
At some point the boy wakes up and sees the girl he is in love with in front of him. She is unconscious, lies naked on a bed and is raped by two party guests. The boy is unable to help her. When the men are gone, he makes a decision: he undresses and lies down next to the girl.
When the young woman wakes up and sees the boy next to her, she is glad that it is him she is waking up next to.
