His friends depend on him: An unhappy old man, a former political prisoner yearning for death, and makeup artist for deceased, a former artist who dreams of painting a masterpiece. The boy does what he can to help them. The old man attempts suicide, but upon learning the date of his death and seeing his beautiful plot chosen for him by the boy, he is able to bear his life. Upon meeting the beautiful Maria, "the boy" gives the former artist a surprise date with her. But when Maria and the artist become closer, the boy realizes that she is the daughter of the old man. The kid thinks the old man would die unhappy if he knew of her existence and so decides to hide the truth.
- This film is a portrait of post communist Bulgaria, focused on the daily ground of two friends. One of them is a psychiatrist, trying to extricate himself from the depressive world of the mental home and from the troubles by means of spirits and psychedelic music he composes; the other is a former political prisoner, one of the most outstanding figures of anticommunist opposition in the recent decade, now a businessman, going all out to secure his place in the sun in an uncompromising world. Setting the worlds of these two human beings in contrast, the film reveals not just the decay of a doomed society, but also the extinction of a non-recoverable friendship.
