Kalojan, tattooed from his feet to the back of his head, returns to his native Bulgaria to sell his dead father's apartment. A huge investment project has started in Koko's hometown, a casino, a hotel and a golf course are being built. Many houses will be demolished and the city cemetery will be moved. Although the boy never agreed or communicated with his father, the responsibility of taking care of the remains falls on his shoulders. Watching the demolished houses and the bones dug up from the ground, Koko, listening to the stories of the local residents, slowly revives not only the portrait of the father he once hated, but also the collective memory of his people. Pavel G. Vesnakov is one of the brightest voices in contemporary Bulgarian cinema.

Although he never spoke or communicated with his father, the responsibility of taking care of the remains falls on his shoulders. As he watches the houses being demolished and the bones being dug out from under the ground, Koko slowly brings to life not only the portrait of his once-hated father, but also the collective memory of his people, by listening to the stories of the locals.
