Synopsis

A small troupe of artists, awaiting a tour, finds themselves stranded in the family home of their director after their van breaks down.

In this confined space where time seems to stretch, life unfolds around rehearsals that continue for the Chekhov play they are set to perform. Inevitable questions about the meaning of life, work, and love creep in, shaping the rhythm of their days.

Through escapades and unexpected encounters, the bonds within the troupe grow stronger. They celebrate life with an impromptu concert and a wildly joyous birthday, showing that the most beautiful utopia is built in the present. A new era can then begin.
