His films and the long period of time, in which any filmmaker works, provoke his reflections, visions and analyses of the current spiritual values of the nation. “I often dream episodes and fragments of my films. They arise unexpectedly and in different versions. Various close-ups and strange viewpoints – some characters are replaced with figures borrowed from my own life. Other stories unfold straight in the present. I make an effort to put them down on paper. So, in the course of time, this project was also born...,” said Nikola Korabov.

Through two unique female personas the film suggests a metaphysical idea of the present as ever recurring, since the temptations, which the human soul faces, are always the same. But any choice can be made only after the experience of the past is passed on and shared with a kindred spirit in the present. Such is the nature of the relationship between Adriana, the femme fatale of 1938, and the innocent Yura of 2008.

Another ordinary evening in an ordinary family. The father is staring at the TV set, and the mother is polishing the dated furniture, while the son is looking curiously at the fish in the small tank. All of a sudden the father wins a TV quiz. From then on the family enters a new era: packages are delivered at the doorstep with all sorts of TV sets, computers, kitchen mixers, etc. Everyone’s mind is completely absorbed with the new technologies, and even the son forgets all about the fish in the tank, but to make things easier he fills it with all kinds of vitamins, antioxidants, etc. And so the fish evolve into all sorts of amphibians, birds and mammals. And miniature dinosaurs, primates and prehistoric men start swarming in the house.
