Plot synopsis
The film begins with the animated fragment telling about the famous eastern apologue, in which the ancient wiseman promises his apprentice he would can all the universe greatest secrets only if the case he would never think about white apes. The principal character is a young businessman who believes that money and fortune are the most important things in the world. One day he loses all his money and faces the necessity to reconsider and change his life. When his world is rocked he finds shelter in the abandoned house where he meets two bohemian characters of a strange kind. These people amaze him with the unique ability to see the world with different eyes. Spending time with his new friends isn’t like anything in the world, and as the time goes by, the hero starts to share their sense of reality. But nothing can last forever. And finally the hero is faced with the need to make one more decision – probably, the most important decision in his whole life.
