While the two may seem very different, they get along well and even share a dorm room. At the beginning of the film, Lana and Bela are playing Scrabble together, but the game takes a pause when Bela is stuck trying to spell a word. She doesn't have the piece, and Lana takes this moment to playfully insult her. The two get into a teasing argument until Bela spills her drink on herself, going to the sink to clean it up. While at the sink, she's unresponsive to Lana's remarks, increasing Lana's confusion. Bela finally turns around and reveals herself to be drenched with water and moss, surprising Lana. The next morning, Bela's boyfriend, Abel, receives a call from Lana that Bela is missing. Lana assumes that Bela was with Abel the night before, but he reassures her that Bela wasn't there. Abel and Lana make plans to go on a search for Bela, eventually splitting off to cover more ground. A series of flashbacks reveal Bela and Lana's relationship, and as Lana searches, she finds strange hints from Scrabble pieces on the ground that give insight to Bela's whereabouts. After searching, she returns to her dorm, with new information on Bela. Lana reconsiders the clues she and Abel had found and comes to a realization: Bela isn't the only one gone.
