Drama collage structured as a mosaic tracks twenty characters related by friendship or family or by absolutely nothing, while they waste time complaining about the situation in the country, dealing with equanimity and fantasizing about going abroad and experiencing better opportunities. By doing this they are actually not doing anything. Martin suffers from insomnia. He is starting 8t" grade in primary school for the third time; his mother (Martina) can not wait to visit her husband who is in Switzerland. In cafe bar "Vegos" Martin is getting his drinks from a Waitress obsessed with rearranging furniture which drives her landlords crazy. Neighbor Sanja comes to live with her insufferable grandparents after living in Germany for five years. Her Grandma is old and can not wait to die, while her Grandpa wants to set a new record in long living. Tamara is Sanja's self- conscious cousin whose poem "People who have time' won the first prize on a county contest for best poem. Tamara's only friend Marta is a potential suicide case for not having a reason to do such a thing. Tamara's mentors are a theatre actress Anita and her older brother Matija who with his friend Stjepan hitchhikes around Europe and the world selling copies of Matija's late father's paintings. Martin s aunt Jadranka and her lover Alen try to create a relationship based on mutual distrust. Martin's second aunt Ana reveals to the kid a technique how to put somebody to sleep which he later tries on his classmates. One of his younger classmates is Karla, Anita's twelve- year- old granddaughter who observes old people around her and wonders: Why all those people talk so loud and seem so unsatisfied?

Director's biography:

Matija Klukovic
Born in Zagreb,1982. Most of his earlier years were dedicated to basketball. He was trained by some of the modest, yet one of the most important basketball coaches of our time- Bane. In 1999 he chose another discipline. From then on, he worked on some features as an assistant director, wrote scripts for some bad television series, directed music videos for local artists, made few shorts, screened them at some of the festivals, talked to the people, listened to them, not listened to some of them, worked on cheap and untruthful projects held by the system, made some money, made friends with people who were willing to put pieces of their heart, body and soul into something they believe. His ego still shies away from the local architects, presuming their responsibility would forever be the most giant one.
