Francois, a Frenchman and sociologist, arrives in the Bulgarian village of Kesten on the borderline with Turkey and Greece, to study ethnic conflicts. In Kesten, Vladimir represents all the authorities: the headmaster, postmaster, pub-runner, running everything still moving and breathing in a radius of 100 kilometers. Vladimir is also the mayor of the village. Fallen sway to strange ideas, in which he involves his wife Maria, Vladimir, in his capacity of the Mayor, becomes his own wife’s lover, and in his capacity of the Headmaster he play-acts scenes of jealousy and shadows her, and in his capacity of the Postmaster makes court to her awkwardly and uneasily. Maria is at a loss what to do. She goes into witchcraft to only bring him to his senses… All for nothing. Finally, she starts living with the three of them: the Headmaster, the Postmaster and the Mayor…
Until Francois’ arrival! Well, then...
