Four different families, each of them with its own pains, hopes, desires and dreams. What’s inherent to all of them is overwhelming presence of the machine, mounted in their city some decades ago. A thermoelectrical plant which was once city’s pride, is now a synonym for political machinations, ecological catastrophe and corruption. A gentle tale of a love relationship between people and their city, slowly burning out.
