An experimental feature film, shot by a team of artists from Moscow and Saint Petersburg without any institutional or production support. Gloomy but not entirely devoid of comedy, it represents a rather amusing mixture of slapstick, early avantgarde, Švankmajer-esque animation and Leningrad Necrorealism. At the heart of it is the life story of a depersonalised hermit who has been thrown out of historical time and is stuck in a looped timelessness. This is the story of a solitary war, fought simultaneously in external and internal territories, while blurring the boundaries between them in the dreams and reveries of a madman.
War cult spreads invading new lives, leaving forgotten bombs that never exploded or that explode on a daily basis, obsessing the children in a vicious circle that originates even more violence. This experimental short film addresses the idea of warlike inheritance and encourages to question to what extent we are able to stop it and take up the torch.

But when the reality of war overtakes them, they are confronted with the raw and relentless truth. When the violence takes its toll, they face a struggle that goes beyond the battlefield. The loss of home, the traumas that haunt them, and the question of whether they will ever find themselves again drive them to extremes.
Gino Bartali’s legacy endures far beyond his three Giro d’Italia and two Tour de France victories. He was a true hero of cycling, but it was only after his death that it became known that he was also a genuine war hero. He rarely spoke about the sacrifice he had made, and very few people knew that he had smuggled fake identity papers for Italian Jews in his bicycle frame. During his daily "training rides" on the gravel roads between Florence and Assisi, he repeatedly put himself in danger.
Students Jaan and Heiki in 1972, inexplicably, cross the river of time and arrive in 1944, the year of the German occupation of Estonia. The film depicts the painful and conflicting contact between the two ages and mentality.
