In Reunion Part 2, the four friends reunite, this time at sea, to help Branimir save his beach from development. The heroes join forces to keep Branimir’s beach and tavern intact, with the goal of turning it into their own paradise where they gather every summer. In order to raise money to buy back the beach, Dejan, Viktor, Alex and Branimir must participate in the completion of Acho’s first feature film, in which he is the main actor, writer and producer. Shooting for Acho’s film has been halted due to lack of budget, and the only way to make the film happen is for friends to pool their skills and help in whatever way they can.
