Synopsis

The artificial environment of the USSR, built on an ideology that was not possible outside of theory, has crumbled, but in its place the new cherished "freedom of democracy" remains merely the hollow words of concept. In the vast building of a train station, resembling an aquarium, the lost masses are ruled by chaos. The terror and misunderstandings of their country has been replaced by senseless and heartless bureaucracy. Having lost all hope, the travelers seek to abandon their country and find a new home, but the trains that come rushing through their station are not stopping. We meet people from all walks of life: a couple of lovers; a group of musicians; a priest; a thief; a banker carrying a briefcase of money; models walking idly on a podium; unhappy families; thieves, prostitutes. All seem trapped and cannot leave. But there is a tiny hope that resides in the eyes of two twin girls, full of the wonder of life, who are waiting for the migration of the angel.
