    • Synopsis
    • Milan and Táňa’s marriage is on the rocks. Arguments and accusations fill the small house they share with their teenage daughter, Lenka. It’s no wonder she’d rather spend more time with her friends.

      One summer evening, Lenka begs her parents to let her go to a party. Her mother, Táňa, immediately says no, but Milan comes to his daughter’s defence: It’s her 16th birthday coming up after all. Plus she promises to be home by midnight.

      But midnight passes and Lenka doesn’t come home. Nor does she return the next day… or the day after that.

      Frantic with worry, Milan and Táňa have no choice but to report their child missing and soon a detective is put on the case. But as the days turn into weeks with no results, Milan decides it’s time to take matters into his own hands…

      Starring multi-award winning Jean-Marc Barr (Big Sur, The Big Blue) and directed by widely acclaimed Igor Voloshin (Bedouin) this darkly gripping mystery thriller explores the extreme lengths a parent will go to for the sake of their child.
