Four teenagers decided to spend weekend in nature, for the first time. They leave by a car a busy and polluted city. They have been “forced” to re-establish a connection with nature without access to a phone network, the internet, or any knowledge of the laws of nature, not knowing what challenges lie ahead. After a few days of “being lost” in nature, teenagers finally reconnect with nature.
Regions of the dry karsts offer little to man. And it’s really hard to pick up that little something out from the harsh and hostile environment. However man and environment are not in the conflict.

Literally and metaphorically, it seems the natives need to go only uphill to achieve something, and to reach the life… As a kind of experimental documentary, the film offers six examples of the coexistence between man and karsts.
