After setting up camp, a Serbian barge moors next to the island, carrying Predrag, an experienced sailor. When one of the boys accuses him of stealing his fishing rod, tempers flare: one night, they kidnap the man and begin to interrogate him. The conflicts between the good friends become increasingly apparent, and old grievances that had been suppressed come to the surface...
