A poignant exploration of identity and disillusionment in post-war Eastern Europe.
In a nation built on the ideals of unity and progress, the President Shop stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of its founder. Ruben and Rosa, former partisans, proudly uphold this legacy, selling images and tributes to the President. However, beneath the surface of state-mandated nostalgia, cracks begin to appear.

Ruben's brother seeks to evade military service, yearning for a forbidden love, while their daughter grapples with womanhood and societal expectations. An eccentric uncle's invention, promising a glimpse into the future, only adds to the uncertainty. Will the family, and the Nation, reconcile with a changing world, or will the weight of the past prove too heavy to bear?
