Based on an iconic Yugoslavian graphic novel by Kostja Gatnik alias Magna Purga from 1977 the story follows the life of Urban, a man trapped in monotonous daily patterns from birth to death. Years pass relentlessly as Urban grows up and ages, with tireless repetitions persistently dominating his dreary, yet mysterious life like a working machine. However, just before his death, a glimmer of the meaning of life dawns upon Urban.

Harmony is slowly broken as perception is disturbed. Images gradually become distorted, as if reality were becoming unbalanced. It's unclear what causes this distortion, but it seems as if the world around us is crumbling while we try to understand it. It is a subtle but deeply distorted vision (of oneself, others or the environment) where the lines between what is real and what is illusory become blurred. Questions arise about how fragile our perception of the world is and where truth transforms into a distorted image.
