“Do you remember that night? The empty glasses, empty bottles, the broken glasses, the blown up buildings. People yelling, people on the floor, while you were there sitting in your damned living room. Does that tell you something? Everything started with a dream, a dream of oblivion.

The film’s screening at this year’s Szczecin Film Festival will mark its world premiere.
