In the first scene she is seen at a large dance celebration, where a toddler is welcomed into the community. A clumsy boy, still almost a child, is seated next to her; according to the adults, he would be a suitable husband for Selda. But she has quite different plans, and for tonight already. Together with her boyfriend Tudor and three other young people, she wants to go to Vama Veche, a nearby coastal town on the border with Bulgaria. The adventure goes horribly wrong, and by the next morning the group is being sought by the police.
