The Well
Davor is a boy who lives in a village near Guca, and his life story seemingly would not have been so unusual, if he had not been born with an incredible talent for tennis. However, life often chooses strange paths for us and leads us into great temptations from which it is not easy to get out. Davor's story begins - or maybe ends on a cloudy May day when wandering around the village, he stops in front of an old abandoned country house, after which he disappears and all trace of him is lost.
