Siblings Petra and Jure want to re-purpose their old lakeside house. To raise money for such a venture, they get involved in the search for a lost dog, hoping to get a substantial financial reward. They cross paths with the ruthless entrepreneur Nicola. When their plan turns sour, Christmas turns into a nightmare riddled with slaps and plot twists.

On July 19–21, 2001, over 200,000 people took to the streets of Genoa to protest against the ongoing G8 summit. Anti-globalization activists clashed with the police, with 23-year-old protester Carlo Giuliani shot dead after confronting a police vehicle. In the aftermath, the police organized a night raid on the Diaz high school, where around a hundred people between unarmed protesters—mostly students—and independent reporters who documented the police brutality during the protests had took shelter. What happened next was called by Amnesty International "the most serious breach of civil liberties in a democratic Western country since World War II."
