Synopsis

Daggi is sent from the city to live with a new family in the countryside, but encounters his new environment with great resistance. The only thing on his mind is leaving, but Daggi hasn't got any other place to go. Everything he knew is gone. At school he meets Gloria who dreams about a different life. Both of them gradually seek new opportunities in each other. But the secrets in Daggi's video camera, the memories no one gets to watch, destroys everything. Someone or something is after him--or could it all be in his mind? [D-Man2010]
