Italy, December 1999. A father drives his son to a friend’s birthday party at a remote farmhouse. The child is anxious about talk of the so-called "Y2K bug". But it is the party itself that ends up malfunctioning, when the disturbing details of a family comes to light. A memory from childhood filmed like a giallo.
