a news reporter, also joins them together with Elin and Gunnar. These five complete the
broadcast team. Shortly after, The team goes out for the weekend to the mountains. Their
drive is interrupted by a barrier by the road. A grumpy old farmer opens the barrier for them,
and watches them intently as they pass. They arrive at a clearing in the forest,
and change into their hiking gear. Gunnar tells them that they have four days to become
the best TV crew in the country. To ensure that they will be physically and mentally focused,
he confiscates their cigarettes and their cell phones. Lasse tries to make one last
call to his mom; and Gunnar eventually lets him. Unfortunately, his mother does not pick
up the phone; and they depart for the mountain. Lasse stumbles while crossing a raging river,
but eventually crosses the bridge. They hike up the mountains, and reach the halfway point.
Finally, they reach Gunnar’s cabin. The cabin used to be an ammo shed; but it has been renovated.
Gunnar grabs the hidden key and unlocks the door. He enters the cabin, and is startled
by a bird flying toward him. Gunnar pulls the window blinds away; and light enters the cabin.
Suddenly, the bird falls and dies in front of Per. Gunnar throws the bird out, while everyone enters.
While everyone else gets settled in, Per fiddles with an old recording machine. That evening,
the group has dinner together. Gunnar gives a pep talk. They toast and drink together,
except for Gunnar. Per teases him, and says that people who don’t drink have a serious flaw.
After the dinner, Gunnar goes outside. The lights suddenly die; and he turns on the generator.
Inside, the group plays with the recording machine. To pass the time, they record a few
funny lines using a recorder; and when they play it back, the tape skips to a recording of Gunnar
and his father talking. In the recording, a young Gunnar is heard crying. His father told him never
to go near the pond. The present Gunnar overhears this from his room, and confiscates the recorder
from the group. He tells them to go to sleep. Meanwhile, Per sneaks outside to secretly use
his cellphone. He hears twigs breaking; and a man in a gas mask appears in front of him, and
startles him before running away. He shouts at the man to come back; but there is no response. Lasse
is woken up by the sound of Per returning to the room. Meanwhile, Gunnar is outside cutting down
a tree; and he tastes the sap from the tree. The next morning, the team gathers food for their
breakfast. Lasse and Per look for a fishing spot. but Per falls into a hole, filled with sharpened
twigs. He miraculously escapes unhurt. The three of them go hunting a rabbit. Elin takes a shot
but misses. Gunnar chases after the rabbit. Lasse and Per find a campsite and a tent by the pond.
Lasse notices two cups filled with water. They knock on the tent, but get no response. They find
dirty dishes and expired milk, and gather that the camp has been abandoned for some time now. Gunnar
watches from a distance, as the two inspect the campsite. Lasse kicks down the cups, and spills
the water. Shortly after, Gunnar returns, and scolds Elin for not killing the rabbit. Sara
notices blood on his hands, despite not having the rabbit with him. but Gunnar only walks away.
Lasse continues looking around inside the tent. He finds a book about fighter planes, and photos of
a man in army uniform. He then finds liquor and some cigarettes. He tries to light a cigarette,
but cannot get his lighter to work. A man wearing red passes by the tent; and Lasse quickly hides
the cigarettes away. He exits the tent, and finds out that it is only Per fooling around,
wearing a red dress that he found. They return to the cabin with canned goods from the tent.
but Gunnar tells them to return it. They argue that the tent is deserted. but Elin and Gunnar
scold them anyway for stealing someone else’s food. They go back to return the food. After
putting the food back, Lasse finds the two cups mysteriously filled with water once more. Gunnar
tells them that a German plane once crashed near the pond. According to his grandfather,
the pond never froze in the winter. Gunnar was also never allowed to swim in the pond.
Suddenly, Lasse notices a bag hanging by the tree. Meanwhile, Per walks around, and finds
rope tied around a tree. They grab the rope, and are shocked after pulling out a dead body from the
river. The body sinks back down. Lasse tells them that they have to return as soon as possible, and
call the police immediately. but Gunnar is against it, telling him that they can wait until after
they are finished with the job. Lasse walks out in anger; and Gunnar tells Per to keep the found dead
body a secret from the girls. While walking back, Lasse gets lost in the woods. He finds sap running
down a tree, and notices that all the trees have been tapped. He finds bones by the base of the
tree. Elin later accompanies Sara to the outhouse. Sara enters, while Elin stands guard outside.
Suddenly, Elin hears whistling. She looks for Lasse outside; but a rabbit corpse is thrown
at her, causing her to drop the flashlight. Lasse appears and picks up the flashlight. Elin
scolds him for his prank. but Lasse is just as confused as her. They return to the outhouse.
That evening, while they are peeing outside, Lasse tells Per that something else is out in the woods.
Elin is startled, upon finding that Per put the dead bird inside her sleeping bag. Lasse scolds
him for being childish, and returns to the cabin. Later that night, Per is woken up by noises. He
tries to call Lasse; but Lasse does not respond to him, despite being awake. Elin exits the cabin,
and walks to Gunnar who is chopping down a tree. She tells him to go to sleep. but
he continues chopping anyway. Lasse wakes up Per to show him Gunnar’s insane behavior. Meanwhile,
Elin tells Sara the story of how she and Gunnar started working together. Apparently,
Elin ran away at fifteen and found Gunnar. Sara teases Elin about sleeping with Gunnar
to get the job; but Elin tells her to sleep.Sara later goes to get water. She is startled by Per,
who suddenly plays the accordion behind her. They end up playing strip poker. Sara ends up winning;
and Per gathers firewood as punishment. He enters the wood shack; while Gunnar watches him. Sara
sneaks into the shack, and starts touching Per for a romantic moment, while Gunnar continues
cutting down the tree. Gunnar finally cuts the tree down; and it falls in front of the shack,
startling the hormones out of Sara and Per. The next morning, Lasse returns to the tent.
Gunnar follows him. He enters the tent, and starts smoking a cigarette. He also pockets
the liquor from the tent. Suddenly, someone closes the tent from outside. Lasse thinks that
Per is messing with. but someone starts choking him from outside, through the tent walls. The
tent falls down; and Lasse escapes. but no one is outside. He runs back to the cabin,
and hides the liquor by the grass in front of the house. While trying to use his phone,
Per finds an old gas mask outside near Gunnar’s location. Lasse checks his neck
through the mirror, and is surprised to find Per, wearing the gas mask behind him. Lasse
accuses Per of choking him earlier; but Per denies it. Gunnar emerges from the out-house,
and reminds them to stay away from the pond. Lasse snitches on Per about his cellphone;
and Gunnar destroys the phone battery. Per is instructed to clean the outhouse, as punishment
for using his cellphone. After Per complains, they decide to tie him down to the ground,
and leave him to the ants instead as punishment. The team departs; and Per is left alone.
Gunnar orders the team to carry some logs up a hill. Elin slips; and they drop the log. Lasse
complains to Gunnar about the work. but Gunnar reminds him that he is paying him to work. After
all the logs have been moved, Gunnar ties the logs to a rock. He starts telling them about
the story of Sisyphus, and his never-ending labor. He then throws the rock down the hill,
causing the logs to roll down with it. The team is confused by his strange behavior.
While Lasse treats Elin’s foot by the river, Sara notices fishing nets by the banks.
At the same time, Gunnar gives up setting the fish nets, and starts shooting the water. He
does not catch anything; and they return to the forest to hunt for food. While hunting,
Elin complains that Gunnar has changed, and is no longer his old self. Gunnar argues that
the group has been disloyal, and that he is only punishing them. She asks him about his daughter;
but he ignores her. Sara and Lasse forage for some mushrooms. They find a rabbit head crawling
with ants; and Lasse pokes it with a stick. Meanwhile, Per starts getting attacked by ants.
Sara returns to Per; but he has mysteriously disappeared. Gunnar arrives, and notices that
the rope has been cut. Elin returns to the cabin, and finds numerous containers filled with water,
indicating that whoever lived in the tent, was the one responsible for Per’s disappearance.
Gunnar finds a toy plane inside one of the containers. The collapsed tent by the
pond is later fixed by an unseen force. Elin worries about Per. but Gunnar tells her
that he probably quit and went home. Lasse shows him Per’s keys to prove that Per did not go home.
When Elin starts worrying that there might be something out there, Lasse finally admits to the
women that they found a dead body. He adds that Gunnar ordered them to keep quiet about it.
Upon learning about the body, Elin wants to leave. but Gunnar is adamant on staying. He
tells them that they can leave if they want to; but they will not ever work for him again
if they leave. The lights suddenly turn off; and Gunnar goes to turn on the generator.
Lasse drinks and smokes outside. Gunnar goes to him; and Lasse offers him a drink. All
of a sudden, Gunnar ties Lasse to a tree as punishment, and leaves him there. Inside the
cabin, Sara fiddles with the recorder. She stops when Gunnar enters. Sara and Elin look for Lasse.
but Gunnar lies, telling them that Lasse went to the tent. Sara leaves to look for Lasse,
despite Gunnar forcing her to stay inside. Pine cones are hurled at Lasse, while someone
runs behind him in a red dress. Suspecting Per, he tells him to cut it out. Sara arrives and
frees him, as the assailant disappears. They smoke and drink together. but they suddenly hear twigs
snapping and look around. They find a bonfire and look for Per. but he is not there. While warming
themselves, Lasse hears whistling. They go into the woods, and are shocked to find Per stabbed to
death, with the weapon still in his chick neck. They return to the cabin with Per’s body. Gunnar
opens the door and sees Per’s body. They tell him that they found him by the pond. Gunnar runs away
after a fight with Lasse. Lasse and Sara leave to get the car; while Elin stays in the cabin
with a shotgun. While alone, Elin hears the door swing open. She tries to close it, but fails. She
peeks outside, and notices that Per’s body has disappeared. She hurriedly barricades the door,
and sits in a corner. Shortly after, the door is forced open; and Gunnar enters the cabin.
Meanwhile, Lasse trips and gets separated from Sara. She looks for him, and sees a
flashlight in the distance. While approaching the light, she stumbles upon Lasse’s body on
the ground. She runs away; while an old man in a red dress chases after her.
Elin and Gunnar hear Sara’s screaming outside. Sara trips in front of the cabin, and gets
attacked. Gunnar goes outside to look for her, but only finds her bloody flashlight. He then grabs an
ax to protect himself, and looks for Sara. At the same time, Lasse wakes up. He sees
Gunnar’s flashlight, and hears him calling out for Sara by the tent. Gunnar approaches
the tent and opens it. He finds Sara tied up inside. Sara signals him to look behind;
but it’s too late, as the old man hits him on the head with a rock. While Gunnar is dragged away,
Sara crawls out of the tent, and finds Lasse. Lasse picks up the ax, and approaches the old man.
Lasse cuts him with the ax; but the old man fights back, and starts drowning him in the
river. Elin arrives in time, and shoots the old man with the shotgun. They save Lasse;
and Gunnar wakes up. However, the old man picks up the shotgun, and shoots a dazed Gunnar. Gunnar
falls into the river, and brings the lady with him, drowning both of them to death.
They return to the city and report to the police. Thanks to the photos from the camera in the tent,
they discover the truth. It turns out in the past, a German couple went to the pond for
their honeymoon. The man’s grandfather, a fighter pilot, crashed into the pond;
and the couple wanted to visit the crash site. The police concluded that the wife
drowned in the cold water in front of her husband, causing him to go insane.
The husband got angry at them and tried to kill them, because they entered his tent,
and found his wife’s dead body in the pond. The meeting ends, and everyone leaves, except for
Lasse. He suddenly notices something strange in the background of the photo. He zooms in,
and sees someone hiding inside the house. He recognizes the man as the grumpy farmer,
who let them past the barrier from earlier! As it turns out, the farmer drowned the German
wife, because she and her husband disturbed his quiet, solitary life in the forest. The husband
was driven crazy by his guilt, and inability to save his wife from getting drowned by the
farmer. His guilt has also pushed him to stand guard over his wife’s dead body. This
is why he will not bury her corpse, and why he attacked the crew when they found her body!
