Synopsis :

Dushan and Eve are worried about the state of their friend Miloš. They visit him at the apartment of his ex-wife Beatrice, who recently died and where Miloš temporarily settled. Miloš is overcome with regrets. In the midst of this, he is absorbed by the book he is finishing about the writer Danilo Kiš. A sentence taken from one of Kiš novels starts inhabiting Miloš as if it was his own thought.

The three friends are confronted with what links them: responsibility, jealousy and guilt. But in the spirit of Miloš, as in the film, the line between life and literature is blurred more and more. Inspired by the literary universe of Kiš.
