In a small Serbian town, 30-year-old Rasa lives with his alcoholic father and tries unsuccessfully to support them by giving literature lessons to teenage girls and hosting a program on local radio, presenting new books and interviewing authors. Ivan, a promising judoist in his teenage years, has since had a history of neuroses, psychotic episodes, hospitalization, being heavily medicated, involvement in various occult groups and practices, prior to being baptized into the Orthodox Church. Milla is attractive, energetic, resourceful, and straightforward; it's clear that besides their student/teacher relationship, she and Rasa are lovers. Doole is a wannabe yuppie: he works for the local representative of major confectionery brands and does his best to act the part of a successful businessman who is well aware of global business trends--as he sees them. The monotony of their lives is interrupted by the arrival of Igor, who has lived in Huddersfield since the early 1990s; in all those years this is his first visit. They all get together in the evening, and what begins as a cheerful high-school reunion of close friends with lots of catching-up to do, turns into an emotional rollercoaster of reminiscing, dark humor, bitterness, uncontrollable laughter, anger, and grim soul-searching. The very personal accounts of their own lives and the lives of their high-school friends reveal the ominous mark the final decade of the 20th century has left on them and their entire generation. Have they the strength to move on?
