Content: The film was made according to the motifs of Zhivko Chingo’s novel by the same title. There is a lot of fuss about the transport of
politician Lem Nikodinovski to the operation hall of the military hospital. He is an outstanding personality in the state. The boards
indicate that he is a candidate in the forthcoming elections. However, agent Lem is in a critical health condition, to be more precise
he is face in face with death. His soul is floating and returning back to his days of childhood, when Lem was only 12. The Second World
War has just ended. Near the big lake an orphanage was opened for orphans originating from alleged “national enemies.” The little Lem
was caught as a wild animal in the rice fields and brought to the orphanage near the big water. The story that the old Lem narrates
about his unhappy childhood is not an ordinary story about the sufferings of the Balkan Oliver Twist! It is a story about friendship,
love, well doing, but also treason, courting! It is a story about Lem and his charismatic friend Isaac, as well as a story about the
destinies of Ariton, his wife, Olivera, the bell-ringer, the professor!
