Georges Laurent travels with her wife Anne Laurent, their teenage daughter Eva and their son Ben from the city to their cabin in the countryside. On the arrival, they find that intruders have broken in the house, and one stranger kills George. Anne, Eva and Ben wander through the village asking for shelter and supplies for their acquaintances, but they refuse to help them. They reach an abandoned barn and spend the night inside. On the next morning, they meet a teenage boy and they walk together to a train station, where they find other survivors.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

- Eva. Come on.

Do you honestly believe you will last long with only one jacket?

I didn't even have a lighter.

And your lighter won't last forever, too.

Come on!

He doesn't need it any more.

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Please!

STOP!

Stop! Wait for us!

Wait for us!

Hello.

You can go inside, there are other people too.

Hello.

I am Anna Loren. These are my children Eva and Ben.

We are from the city.

Other people? I don't understand you...

Where are those other people? We didn't see anyone.

How many people stay here?

- He doesn't understand you.

I know. Be quiet!

It's so cold in here.

May I start a fire?

Did the train stop here?

The train... Outside?

Did the train stop here?

Hello.

Where do you come from?

We are from the City.

I am Anna Loren. These are my children Eva and Ben.

Hello. My wife, my daughter.

What do you want here?

The boy tried to steal something...

I see. Thank you.

I can't understand hoe you can stay so calm?

Did you steal something from me?

It's not so easy. The woman is right.

If we give up the most basic rules, we can give up anything.

What is it you could give up?

Are you the one in here to look after the order of things, Mr. Koslowski?

Why you? Because you carry a gun?

Do you want to impress us?

Shut up.

Empty your bags.

Shall I take them away from you?

Let go of the boy!

- I told you to shut up!

Before you and your wife showed up here, we stuck to the rules.

Rules that are necessary for living together in a civilised manner.

You call this "civilised"?

The rules stay the way they are. They apply to you too! Understood?

If you don't like it, pack you wife and child an leave.

I told you to let go of the boy.

Do you want to get beat up?

Who do you think you are? Why is it you, that makes the rules?

If you would...

Eva.

Please mom, let me go.

Don't you dare coming back!

- F*** off!

Please, let me talk to him.

Mom? Please? I'll be back.

Honestly, you didn't steal anything?

- No!

Then I'll tell them that.

- I don't care!

You don't want to go back, do you?

- I'll leave.

Don't come nay closer!

- But your hand...

Does it still hurt?

How did that happen?

It doesn't matter, who cares?

Did you get in a fight? With whom?

Won't you tell me?

- No.

Please, don't go.

I prefer to be alone.

- I don't believe that.

Forget it. See you later.

Do you know what that is?

Those guys spectacles.

- But you...

I can use those to make a fire.

Your mother has a lighter.

Will you give them to me? I'll return them.

They will et you inside again.

You just don't get it.

Possibly the train will really stop here.

I'll stick around.

Would be stupid if I missed it.
