Plot synopsis
Nadia, an introverted Russian girl, goes on vacation to Belgrade, inhabited by extroverted Serbs. She lives her life according to plan, and Belgrade residents live for their own pleasure. First, Nadia is drawn into an affair with a local boyfriend Nesha, and then into his relaxed, semi-vagrant lifestyle. She makes an impulsive decision to quit her boring job and Moscow for the sake of love, freedom and Belgrade. Both this love and this freedom have to pass the test of reality, which always turns out to be more difficult than our expectations.
