SYNOPSIS
Somewhere in Macedonia, two people who are not wanted anymore meet an unadapted, aggressive ex-convict and a girl from psychiatry. Even the director of the prison wants to get rid of Janko. For his halfbrother Novak he is a pain in the neck because of his violent temper, until Novak has the bright idea of making Janko look after Zana. She is to be released from psychiatry, because there is no room for her anymore since a lucrative source of sideline has been discovered: the mental home serves as a hideout for war criminals. During the renovation of Zana´s house - in fact an occupational therapy for Zana - they get closer. The young woman takes a bit of negative energy off the 40-year-old and they find out that they are not at all that different from each other, in fact, they know each other from another life. In the absurdity of the current relations of society their love seems more and more normal. Maybe there is a chance for them.
