Synopsis
Saša, a relatively successful theatre director, returns to his home town. He has left behind a seemingly successful career, but carries with him disappointment, an illness that is only healed, and a couple of suitcases. However, he can’t avoid work, as the mayor offers him to put on a production in the neglected local theatre. Only five people show up to his audition, and Saša has no choice but to hire all of them. The new candidates don’t have that much cultural knowledge, nor affinity for theatre, so the only way to find common ground with all of them is to do a western. Nothing guarantees success of this production – neither the genre and Saša’s experience, nor everybody’s will. Quite the contrary.
