Labour Day, 1986, Ljubljana, Yugoslavia. Peter, an ironworker, a great believer in the socialist system, is finally allocated a socially-owned apartment at the awards ceremony for the “Worker of the Year”. This is such a big shock for him that he falls into a vegetative state. Shortly after that, since his mental state does not change, Peter is placed in a mental institution. Peter wakes up 10 years later, in different times. His wife has remarried (with his best friend), his children have grown up, and his country – Yugoslavia – has disappeared. Everybody is trying to become European; everybody wants to get rich overnight. Peter takes his life into his own hands. (From www.fest.rs)
