Fourteen-year-old Jana imagines dream sequences in a world growing more and more confined. In her imaginative powers, she flees from life with her apathetic grandmother. She invents Puca, a young lascivious man who thrusts glamour and witty scenes into Janas life. But Pucas diabolic side emerges. The newly discovered fantasy turns into a nightmare.
