U odsečeno, zaboravljeno selo blizu kog će uskoro biti izgrađen autoput, stiže stranac. Meštani, puni nepoverenja i straha prema promeni koju put donosi, sumnjaju da i stranac ima neke veze sa tim i da skriva svoje prave namere. Nekoliko nesporazuma i laži je dovoljno da netrpeljivost meštana prema strancu preraste u otvoreni sukob, a Jana, devojka iz sela koja se zaljubila u stranca, shvata da je ona jedina koja može da ga spasi od opasnosti koja se nad njim nadvila.

As a stranger arrives in a cut-off village, locals suspect his involvement in constructing a highway nearby.

She runs to save the foreigner’s life.
