Plot Summary

In Australia, Peter and his wife Marcia travel with their dog Cricket in their Jeep to camp along the weekend in a remote beach. They spend most of the time arguing with each other since Marcia wants to go to a hotel instead of camping. Peter holds a grudge against Marcia since she has betrayed him with their friend Mark and Marcia had an abortion later. But sounds of nature may be scary for urban people. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
