Duško Radić is in front of a big change in his life. After five years spent in the countryside, he finally returned to the city to finish his history studies. He has only one evening left before the defense of his diploma thesis on the topic of the French Revolution. It is the evening that marks the end of his student life and his entry into the world of adults. A moment that many students secretly shy away from due to fear of the future is just another ordinary day for Duško because, unlike his peers, he has a plan. He has gone through all the literature, he has learned to cite all relevant references and is ready to substantiate each of his presented theses in front of a committee of professors. There is no question that Duško does not have an answer to. Now nothing can stop him: he is armed, ready to spill blood and trample over corpses. The foundations were laid for the beginning of his own revolution. The evening he had planned to spend locked in his room making final preparations for his graduation defense was interrupted by the arrival of unexpected guests. Guests who came under the guise of casual socializing and good times to suppress his revolution - but Duško won't let them do it without a fight.
