The psychological drama is developing on the highlands of the Carpathian mountains. Two brothers live in a Hutsul village very close to each other. But they are separated by a quirky and complicated story of mutual disappointments, offences, quarrels and rivalries. But one day a woman (she’s a writer) enters their remote dwelling. The brothers tell her, very sincerely and openly, all about their past common life. Since their childhood they are to share everything: mother, toys, wife, son (they don’t know who of them is the father)... The film is based on the Sweetness novel by Torgny Lindgren.
