A film about fateful decisions and the results which everyone faces. Boyden, an advertiser, joins the protests taking over the streets of Sofia during the summer of 2013. His loved ones are estranged, his daughter is losing faith in him, and his career is falling apart…

In these tense days of dementia and memories of childhood, Boyden manages to find the recipe for his own salvation.

Borislav Mihailovski:
“I enjoy analyzing human behavior in times of crisis. The main theme I was interested in was overcoming addiction in the name of filial duty. Recognizing your second chance and seizing it. What motivates you to find the strength for it? How do the differences between generations affect relationships in times of crisis?”
