Dejan (32) is taken by his mother Violeta (67) to a monastery commune, to be treated for his drug addiction. The place is led by a charismatic priest Branko (56) who has absolute authority over the small community counting around thirty addicts. Branko appoints Mionica (33) as Dejan’s guardian, a sensitive soul, earnest and trustworthy. With his support Dejan needs to move towards healing. He is assigned to carry wood, wash feces and clean waste while fighting a strong post-abstinence crisis. He has no time to think, just to fight. The commune functions as a wholesome unit, but when rules are broken, the punishment is cruel. Branko, the priest, sees potential in Dejan giving him more responsibilities and investing more time and trust in him. Dejan begins to find meaning in this new position of power and begins to preach to others, making it seem like he is completely healed. When a disturbing clip made by a former addict showing the priest beating his patients with a shovel, goes viral, the existence of the center is called into question. One evening Mionica, Dejan’s former guardian, returns to the center under the influence of drugs, breaking the commune’s biggest rule. Dejan, now Branko’s right hand, must decide whether to protect his friend or remain loyal to the priest and punish him.
