Synopsis
A little boy’s parents take him on a picnic. But why do they decide on a desolate forest road instead of the nearby beach? And why do they put sleeping pills in his milk? While his father seals the windows and puts a hose on the exhaust pipe, his mother, walking along the shore, lulls the boy to sleep. Night is coming and with it a storm. . . .
