Med lidenskab, jalousi og tillid. Med magt og ydmyghed, overbevisning og fornægtelse, overgreb og kærlighed, sygdom og lykke. Kort sagt handler den om alt det, som livet udsætter os mennesker for. En weekend i juli eller når som helst. Det er en weekend i juli i en by i den norske provins.

A young couple, Peter and Marcia decide to spend a weekend in the country. They find an isolated beach on a deserted stretch of the Australian coastline and set up their campsite for the weekend.

What they do when they realize where they're headed is both inspiring and wildly entertaining.
