Cast off from any civilization a group of lovers is awaiting the end of the world.
A barbecue is being held in front of a mountain hut. The host, a bus driver, is celebrating his retirement. He has invited four women with whom he always flirted while driving. One of the women is a single mother. She leaves her eleven years old daughter alone for the weekend. The girl is terribly disappointed and casts a spell, wishing her mother dead and the whole world to collapse.
While the little party in the mountains is getting acquainted all of a sudden combat jets are flying unusually low over the group and a large helicopter is attempting a landing on the forest street right in front of the mountain hut. An unusual thunderstorm followed by a trembling of the earth alarms the festive company, after having enjoyed up to now a relaxed and flirtatious atmosphere.
Cast off from any civilization they are now trying to spend their allegedly last evening in a meaningful way.
