Eighteen-year-old Stefania faces the war with the worst consequences – she has no relatives and nowhere to go after the bombardment. The girl leaves her hometown hoping to escape the catastrophe.

Two strangers, Yar and Ada, help her and provide Stefania with the accommodation far away from the danger. It seems like she is safe now, but at night they steal her money, a gold pendant with the portrait of Our Lady and try to kill her.

During the story, in the most emotional moment Stefania finds herself on the shore of the Pink Lake. She is eager to unravel its secrets after finding her parents' house and things that were destroyed by the war.
