Marko lives in a Croatian village with his parents and beloved little brother Fico. Despite being a gifted athlete Marko plans to follow his father’s plan and become a mechanic after he graduates high school.
Two events upset the balance of Marko’s life- his village is being threatened by floods and Selvan, his first and forbidden love, comes back home for his funeral.
The closer the floods come to the village, Marko’s emotional turmoil grows. While the villagers are working tirelessly to build walls of sandbags around their homes, Marko is building his own wall- one intended to keep his emotions at check. But just like water, emotions have a way of bursting through all obstacles.
