This dark comedy filled with black humor follows the inhabitants of an apartment tower who attempt to overcome isolation in late Soviet-era Estonia. The misadventures in life and in love of this disparate group of characters demonstrate that even where hope seems to be all you have, there is always a possibility for laughter. Mati, a young writer, lurks outside the window of his ex-wife and unsuccessfully approaches other women. August Kask, a barber living a drab life who befriends a little girl, but his approaches are misconstrued as pedophilia. The single mom, Laura, watches a sappy soap opera on TV and pushes away men's advances because she cannot trust them. Maurer, the architect, thinks about the well-being of humanity, but has forgotten his own wife, who, in turn, looks for solace in the coatroom attendant Theo. Women like Theo, but due to his low social status, they don't take him seriously. Ultimately, the film is a pitch black comedy about people attempting to overcome isolation and loneliness.
