Ivan, a stud struggling with his own crisis, jobless, mired in alcoholism, surrounded by coarse women, is consumed by self-hatred. The film offers a rare and humorous look into the world of the desperate. A feature about the imagined European paradise, about rapid changes in sociopolitical life, about exploitation by a damaged system—all seen through the eyes of a broken man.
