Kosta is a man of vision, focus, and mission. Sadly, all of it is clouded by the excessive use of domestic brandy. 

We first encounter Kosta, a middle-aged freelance journalist who spends his days in melancholic reminiscence of a better time, in a rundown city tavern where, after almost a quarter of a century, he meets his estranged father. This encounter becomes a catalyst for mysterious occurrences that push Kosta to the edge of sanity, riddled with visions of human-like animals, and long forgotten memories.

Parallel to Kosta’s struggle to differentiate reality from illusion, he seemingly strikes gold with his latest work assignment. Together with his old colleagues Sike and Theresa, he embarks on a journey promoting the most controversial study ever to have been written dealing with the topic of economic transition in the Yugoslav society. Much like in Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being, characters unintentionally unravel the social paradoxes and bizarreness of an ex-socialist society, without this ever being the central theme pushing our protagonists forward. Through their stories, and struggles to perform their task, they provide the reader with an insight of Yugoslav society at a time it was in its early stages of democratisation, all the while proving the doomed banality of their journalistic professions.
