the wed­ding anniver­sary

It's a wedding anniversary. While Xenia, the wife of the scrap yard owner Gustav, sits in front of the television and waits for her husband to make her happy, a young man is shot by three gangsters not far from her. Xenia realizes that she is waiting in vain and rises from her TV chair to leave Gustav. The goal: "Australia", "Adventure". But she doesn't get any further than to the gate of the scrap yard, where the three gangsters meet her with a flat tire. When Xenia discovers the body in the trunk of her car, a completely different adventure begins for her than she had imagined. A short trip to her possibilities and thus to herself.
