Synopsis
Popular film actress Věra is getting on in years and is now faring better as a talk show host. These days it’s rare that she finds a common language with her husband Daniel, the boss of a production agency and chronic seducer of young girls. Not even the arrival of the young Macedonian Liana, who happens to find refuge in the successful media couple’s luxury flat, is able to breathe new life into the defunct relationship. Like Věra and Daniel, the nurse Eva and terminally ill designer Martin are also trying to find their place in life. The succession of habitual lies, games of hide-and-seek and manipulation becomes more serious with the murder of a girl Daniel recommended to Japanese clients for an advertising campaign for artificial sakura flowers. A victim of serious psychological problems, he’s not entirely sure what happened on that fateful night. The new film by experienced director Ivan Vojnár is a story about a fast-moving modern world from which spontaneity, humaneness and spiritual values are slowly ebbing away.
