Diana, an 18 years old teenager from Targu Mures, hitchhiked to Vama Veche, a small Romanian village on the coastline of the Black Sea with no money in her pockets. Her plan was to earn money by offering hugs for 1 LEU so she could have fun for a few days.

There she met Victor. Victor was from the same town, and he was also offering hugs for 1 LEU. Little by little, they started spending all the time together: making money, sharing their food, the drinks, the fun and one tent.
