A collage of human fates, where all shown characters are suffering from panic attacks. Stories like a policeman who is willing to come out or a young business woman who achieved her life goals too early.

Aldo Nicolaj’s play tells the story of three elderly people, the retired days of the last few living members of the “iron generation”. The survived and struggled XX. the end of the century reaches them in a crowded housing estate. The woman remained gentle and cheerful — but the once strong boys who were once brave soldiers, then hard-working workers, waist-high fathers, proud, self-conscious men — were now mindful, shabby, grumpy gentlemen. Who alone, who lives just tolerated by his family, but in any case lives alone ... ends up in this little space, waiting on the bench waiting without a goal - and exchanging words with someone who has acted similarly. They don't know each other, but slowly as they run into each other on the bench ... they'll become friends. And their friendship gradually fills them up, the feeling of emptiness is replaced by the security of belonging somewhere, the reassuring routine of newly acquired habits.

The protagonist is hit ten times, but fortunately it's only a bruise.

Sur une planète éloignée, pas trop différente de la Terre, se trouve une ville mécanisée sans habitants visibles mais de toute évidence, d’une civilisation très développée. La question est de savoir qui l’a construite, où sont-ils. et qu'est-ce que les humains peuvent apprendre d'eux ?

This sensitive and ironic film points up two girl-faces: Vera is happy, but cold, while Borika is tired, but warm-hearted.
