Are the notions of right and wrong, legal and illegal, actually applicable in the Balkan arena? Our protagonist is hailed as a working-class hero, only to get himself in trouble due to pervasive state corruption, gradually and aggressively revealed, turning him into a victim.

Synopsis

An inspector finds millions of leva on the railroad tracks during a search. He hands over the money to the police, and thus, the state organizes an event to honor him. The head of the department of Public Relations of the Ministry of Transportation takes the inspector's old watch, a family heirloom, in order to give him a new one: a gift for his morals. Along the way, the new watch breaks and the old one gets lost. A desperate battle to restore the treasured heirloom and his dignity begins.
