CHICKEN

LESZCZU

Three mates, summer weekend at the lake… but things start to get a bit complicated. Feeling not so comfy anymore, friends turn one against another- bad instincts explode. The problem needs to be solved, and who’s better in strategy then the three of them. And there it goes – the story of friendship, trust and fate.
