01 / Story

Synopsis

Malina and Viktor, a brother and sister duo, steal bronze busts for a living. One day, the heavy bronze head-and-shoulders of a national hero slips out of Viktor’s hands and crushes his foot. When the doctor arrives to treat his injury, he demands sexual favors as payment. That’s when Viktor picks up a heavy manhole cover that was lying around the house.

The film’s tagline is: “A brother, a sister, and a manhole cover.”
