A group of young people decide to construct a "dark room": an enclosed space into which light never enters. In the beginning they use it to experiment with new ways of relating to each other, to have anonymous, free sex, and for a mixture of play and transgression. As they have to face maturity, with all its decisions, disillusions and setbacks, the darkness becomes a sort of relief for them. With the passage of time, social uncertainty and personal vulnerability enter their lives and the dark room begins to feel like a refuge. As reality slowly seeps through into that interior space, some of the youths believe that these are times to carry out a counter attack rather than hiding away, even if their decisions endanger the rest of the group.
