A magical film of exceptional beauty will take you away for 2 hours of wonder, thoughts, memories, nostalgia and fantasies. Truly meaningful, mesmerising, unique journey of one ordinary Bulgarian man towards collision with death was gorgeously shot on 35mm, 16mm and other formats in family’s meaningful places and inspired by grandfather’s tales. Undeniable masterpiece for attentive, patient, curious spectators must be seen, heard and felt only in the cinema space.

Three chapters of a lifetime are tenderly visualized by poetical slow glimpses, while our protagonist turns 8, 18, and 82 years during different seasons in epic horizons of nature.

A significant cameo by Bulgarian director Milko Lazarov, known from "Alienation" and "Aga".
