Plot

A mentally disturbed middle-aged musician falls in love with an attractive young girl.

Mihailo, once a brilliant young pianist, is now a piano teacher at an educational center. His colleagues consider him an oddball. But they leave him alone——to live his lonely life. Everything changes when a young girl appears at his school. Contact with her, "a new," erotically intense life, "causes a strange phenomenon in him - as he has seen it all once before." Namely, the situations he experiences seem repeated——to him. His trauma, the piano, causes painful emotions. And pathological fear, a fusion of past and "present," pushing him into tragedy.
