Bob
(18) is an overweight boy of a simple nature who comes from a strongly religious
family and lives within the safe routine of Christian values. As a reward, yet against
his will, his parents send him to a religious medical
resort for the physically disabled to fight his obesity. There
he falls in love with Káťa (22), an intern,
and becomes close to Vítek (17), an incurably ill nihilist walking with a stick, with
whom he shares the room.
During the stay, both relationships intensify, but as Káťa rejects Bob, he succumbs to Vítek’s mentality. Eventually, his deep-rooted negativity comes to light and leads to an ill-considered poisoning of Káťa who ends up in a coma. Torn by the loss of faith when the prayers for her recovery are not answered, Bob is manipulated by Vítek into another irreversible act – to help him end his suffering.
