Four very different people live in the same building but avoid each other because of differences in how they live their lives, what they believe in, and where they come from. They would probably never exchange a word, but misfortune pushes them towards each other. Their lives entangle in ways that profoundly challenge deep-held beliefs and prejudices surrounding material status, sexual orientation, nationality and religion.
Slowly, and even painfully, they begin to open up to each other and recognize the essential humanity each of them possesses.

This is the first Macedonian indie film funded by the actors and a large part of the team. The first part of the film consists of only two scenes shot in two takes”, representatives of Cinnamon Media Factory told FNE.
The film follows Mira, a lawyer in trouble, who plants a bomb under the car of her brother Stevo on the day when Macedonia declares the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to save the family from disintegration. The plot gradually reveals a game full of misunderstandings, love and passion. Stevo survives the assassination and a year later inaugurates a cinema called “Love”, an idea and life dream of Mira’s husband.
Macedonian actors Dejan Lilic and Jelena Zugic play the main roles. The cast also includes Robert Ristov, Mirjana Ristov, Blagoj Chorevski and Robert Veljanovski.

Gligor, a young misfit from a countryside becomes marked by his instinctive need to deal with irregularities which a time-storm imposes.
He is recalling the dramatic scenes of the past – from rattle games, from delicate moments with Maria, from the foreign mockery and from the pointless heroism – he finally comes across an absurd ring like a new purified and transformed man devoted to his native hearth and God’s salvation.
