Falling Into Place

Trying to escape the harsh Berlin winter, JESSICA DUKAKIS, a young Greek-German, plans to celebrate her birthday on the warm island of Crete. She's accompanied by her boyfriend, the German soldier PAUL, by her best friend MARIA, the daughter of an Hungarian diplomat, and her pal FRANCO, an outgoing Italian DJ. The four travellers miss their plane and decide to go to Greece by car. Looking forward to a two-day road trip down the balkans, Jessica agrees to take a shortcut through Croatia, although her father had warned her not to do so. The four get into a car accident with MARKO, a friendly young Croatian man. He promises to get their vehicle fixed and invites them to stay in his family's beautiful hunting lodge nearby. The young people try to make the best out of the situation and party and relax in the middle of nowhere. They're secretly being watched by two local gangsters, IVAN and LJUBOMIR the four middle-Europeans have apparently gone in a well-prepared trap. Jessica is shocked when Marko tells her the next day that the accident was part of a set-up. Her father is indebted to a Croatian mob boss based in Berlin and he intends to take Jessica hostage to make her father pay back the money.
