A poignant and at the same time tragic story about a man who has not lived his life.

It seems that Zilov has everything - a job, a new apartment, friends and a loving wife. But behind this outward well-being is a man who feels no fulfillment in any area of life. Even the dream of a successful duck hunt cannot fill the emptiness smoldering inside him.

Zilov exists in “before” mode: before a decision, before a confession, before action, before real life. Like a living dead man, he gazes at the world with empty eyes and spews his bile on those around him. But when the doorbell rings and he is delivered his own funeral wreath, it becomes clear - there is no longer any way to avoid the unpleasant truth.

How long can you postpone your own life?
