On weekends, the farm of a young family becomes the meeting place of a large circle of friends. The impetuous group of children develops its own, childishly brutal dynamic. Power games and a constant struggle for strength drive them on. Thus, they engage in war games, shoot at each other, trick each other and make fun of each other. Nine-year-old Moni, the youngest of the group, is at the bottom of the socio-dynamic food chain. The attraction to her older sister's friend and the question of whether her father is really Moni's father form the background noise of a weekend that seems to stretch on for an eternity. A film about the painful beauty of growing up.
