Synopsis
The story of gym-teacher Lubosh starts in the moment of his death, when he sees before his eyes, in a postmortal recapitulation, his whole life. All the people in his life march through his thoughts with their respective stories: mother Vera, grandmother, wife Olga, daughters, girlfriends... mainly women. The world of women, surrounding him from his earliest childhood like a life preserver, changes finally into a collar squeezing his neck. Lubosh, a kid who grew up without a father, is stigmatized by these women's views and dreams like a mark...
