Friends Sara and Nina are going to the sea during the carefree summer holidays slightly differently than the majority - on foot, across Slovenia along the European footpath E-6, 14 days long. The path is overcome with such and different conversations, questions about life, thinking ... It is the path of physical efforts and endurance, the recognition of the distant beauty of Slovenia and the originality of nature, the landscape that lies under their feet. They are rich in new experiences, meetings with people. Of course it's not quite complicated and fun; Friendship is for a moment even a big test., The girls inevitably or inevitably meet special boys Žmigi and Jože, but they do not somehow shake them off until the end of the journey. After all, at the departure, they grow to their hearts.

The Turin factory, another in a series of closures, shuts down, leaving workers jobless and uncertain. Salvatore, a worker, climbs the tower in protest or rage, threatening to jump. Giorgio, a shop steward with opposing political beliefs, saves him. The third worker, a visually impaired and autistic keeper, joins them, climbing the tower to keep them company. Abandoned by everyone, they wait for journalists to arrive. These diverse perspectives reflect the past thirty years of life in the country, marked by wasted opportunities, betrayed hopes, crimes, massacres, and political power struggles. We watch through archive footage, contrasting this wicked dance of events with the simple common sense of three people with no power, hanging on a tower, building a friendship without realising it.
