Once Vlad discovers a strange object in the lining of his coat, he immediately decides that the insidious damage is to blame for all his recent failures. Trying to dissuade Vlad, his girlfriend Sasha turns their supernatural problems into real ones. The film explores a young couple's attempt to mend their lives and rebuild a dying relationship through flirting with religious esoteric themes.
