Where do you draw the line? That question is at the heart of Fanny Ovesen’s directorial debut about two friends on a backpacking trip through Europe.

Laura and Alexandra are full of excitement as they arrive in Warsaw – the first stop on a backpacking trip through Europe. They quickly make new friends and plan to party, but Laura is struggling with missing her boyfriend back in Sweden. One morning, she wakes up in a stranger’s bed with no memory of the boozy night before, and the dynamic between the two girls begins to shift.
