Plot synopsis
A black comedy.
What do we do with people who disturb our lives? Can we kill them? And are we capable of murder? And who can actually kill?
… Two maniac girls knock down a cyclist, kill a paedophile, steal the car of a filthy glamour-star…
… A well-known DJ presents a scandalous show where he finishes off his audience. After the next radio transmission the DJ is kidnapped…
… A wife, who dreams of leaving her husband, invites her boss and lover to her birthday. While they go to get cigarettes, a murder happens in the house…
The heroes’ paths in the stories that make up this cruelly absurd black comedy come together on a country highway, when destiny dots the “i’s” and crosses the “t’s”.
