Paulius and Indrė arrive at a small town near an airport.

Paulius and Indrė arrive at a small town near an airport. They go to the terminal but do not board a plane. They visit a shop but leave without buying anything. They wait at a bus stop looking at an empty space beside it. On the second day, they visit a house and pretend to buy it. They first ask to visit the cellar of the house, but they get recognized by the owner and thrown out. Soon, people in town start guessing the motives of these visits when it becomes apparent that Paulius is the brother and Indrė is a former girlfriend of a boy who was kidnapped, tortured, raped and brutally murdered here four years ago. Undisturbed by the mood of the locals, Indrė and Paulius carry on recounting the steps of the gruesome crime. Finally, they come to the forest where, on the last night, it all ended, but they are unable to find the exact tree near which it happened.
