Eli and Them

Sheltered Eli (17) is sent to spend the summer at her sister Karo's (34) rural farm, supposed to be preparing for her exams. As Karo is too preoccupied with running the farm, Eli gains an unexpected freedom and begins to escape from the boredom of her studies. She meets reclusive Adam (25), who grows close to Eli, and while at a party, she sleeps with charismatic Roma drug dealer Mariana (18), later learning from her that a house in the local Roma settlement has recently burned down. Poor conditions are claimed to be the cause, so the village votes to evict the Roma population, while Mariana believes that the fire was set intentionally and wants justice. As the summer fades away, Adam, tormented by the fight for Eli's affection, claims to have set the fire. Distressed, Eli confesses it to Mariana, which tragically escalates the dispute.
