A man and a woman, who have only known each other for a few hours and must soon part, sit in an airport cafe and invent an entire shared life together. A girl born with two different eyes – one seeing only the past and the other only the future, strives always to see the unattainable now. A father conspiratorially hangs laundry between two cherry trees in a tiny Bulgarian town in the 1970s and unwittingly sets off a series of events that will turn absurdly historic. A woman on a train, passing through the poppy-filled Central European countryside, waves at everyone she passes, unaware that a single gesture can ripple through another’s life like fate. A lonely drifter on a freezing New Year’s Eve sees himself mirrored in a shop window TV, every move presumably watched by unseen millions and a world that has forgotten him. A celebrated connoisseur of sunsets returns to the town where his absurd, lucrative career had begun to witness the world’s very last dying of the light.
