    • Synopsis
    • TV talk show hosts bait young Yana into confessing her unusual relationship with an aging rocker, Stoil. The nonlinear narrative follows the associative connections in Yana's memories: wild parties, a motorcycle rally, threesome with her best girlfriend, beach-side bonfires, a crypto-gay machista's birthday, a cheap tattoo shop, a posh spa hotel, wine testing, pot smoking and transgressive sex. However, her TV confession provokes a conservative backlash. Chased by vigilantes, Yana and Stoil end up in a mountain hut, gearing up for a final standoff. Does Yana herself know the real story, though? Is she a reliable narrator? It's all about the connections - free and forced, literal and metaphorical, verbal and musical, real and imaginary, genetic, sexual and dreamed up.
