Four men, two women and a baby go on a trip into the forest. They are all beautiful or rich or creative. Their conversations are dominated by cynical gibes and the same old game of love and distance. Today, they have taken a conscious decision to leave the city for once and find out what a night surrounded by nature out in the open holds for them. Then a spark flies unnoticed, unleashing an infernal forest fire. The people flee, are driven apart; suddenly, all that matters is saving their own skins. The experience of the fear of death, loneliness and their own vulnerability in the face of raging natural forces releases the survivors back into an everyday life that is too much for them.
