Overview

A condom found on an African beach is an impulse for a black man to set off on a dangerous sea journey to Europe, in search of a better life. Meanwhile, Villa Antropoff hosts a typical international wedding party which, with every drink and every drug fix, is becoming increasingly pretentious. An ironic story about dreams and losing dreams. Inspired by a real event, when both directors found themselves at a strange wedding celebration in the villa of former USSR leader Yuri Andropov near Pärnu in Estonia.
