Dabei ist Antons Bruder der wahre Schuldige, und er hat noch weitere finstere Pläne.
Surreal-verträumtes Drama im Stil der Filme von Jeunet und Caro, in dem ein junger Mann um den Fortbestand eines alten Schwimmbades und die Liebe seines Lebens kämpft.
Set in a dilapidated indoor swimming pool (the Central Baths in Sofia), the film details the efforts of Anton, a clueless dreamer who yearns to sail the world, and Martha, the button obsessed cashier, to maintain the illusion for Anton's blind father that business is thriving. Working to sabotage their efforts is Gregor - Anton's brother - an amoral developer who is determined to raze the entire town and construct a sprawling condominium complex. Gregor engineers an accident that seems certain to doom the business and in the process steals away Eva, the beautiful woman of Anton's dreams. Will Gregor's dastardly plan succeed?
