A gang of reckless semi-rich mid-30 year olds go on vacation. They all ruin each other's lives. But you slowly feel more and more pity for them. They have been through it with no solutions. They turn to vices to stay disillusioned, and even when they finally realize how pretty it would have been another outside force will not let them be. They are so incredibly lost. You see hauntingly how the same feeling still is, you just wish for a few more words.
