The movie follows the lives of two brothers. Matus, a talented musician, abandoned his rising career when his mother fell ill. Now, after her death, he is living with his stepbrother, David, who suffers from achondroplasia, and each copes with life in his own way. While David takes whatever life may offer him, Matus feels frustrated by his thwarted ambitions. “Unlike David, who found happiness in a care home, Matus cannot find any joy despite the success he’s been having. He observes the simple life of his brother, which is richer in its simplicity. He slowly realises that happiness is a state of mind hidden in the small things, and that the life we live is not only about us, but about the ones we live for.
