Short film about an unhappy but apparently very cold, attractive young who speaks with a strong Zagreb dialect, who in late 60’s sings in a R’N’R band in Belgrade, and who – in his own words “mimics lavish sexual life” and “is in search for oneself”.

But suddenly, a vortex sucks him into a dream state where he wanders, escapes man-eating fish, confronts his doppelganger, walks through a field of giant flowers, and comes upon Venus herself, buried up to her shoulders in sand.
