Synopsis
A girl wakes up after a night spent with a man in an elegant room of a palace on the outskirts of the city. It’s the 16th of March. A cold, foggy morning. The girl gets into her car, drives off, goes through villages, fields, into the forest. On the road, there is a log blocking her way. The girl pulls the log onto the side of the road. She sees a lorry approaching from behind; hastily gets into the car and drives off not to block the way. The lorry seems to be following her, the pursuer flashes his full beams, hoots. The girl is confused, tries to let the lorry overtake her car but the road is too narrow. The driver gets more and more aggressive. Finally, he hit the back of the girl’s car. She’ s terrified. A petrol station appears from behind the corner. The girl is in panic, pulls over at the station, runs out of the car. The lorry pulls over just behind her…
