Alexandru and Sebastian embody the exact opposite of one another: one is a chain-smoking cynic, the other a shy romanticist. But both have something in common: their love for Ioana, Alexandru`s wife. A few weeks after her sudden accidental death, Sebastian, the up to now secret lover, stands unexpectedly in front of Alexandru`s door and seeks consolation. And he makes him a surprising proposal. A bizarre friendship, full of wit and tragedy, begins to develop quite slowly. With its laconic narrative style, the black comedy reminds us somewhat of Jim Jarmusch`s or Kaurismäki`s films and captivates in addition with its weird soundtrack.
