The inhabitants of an apartment tower cope with alienation, loneliness and despair in late Soviet-era Estonia. The young writer, Mati, lurks outside the window of his ex-wife and unsuccessfully approaches other women. August Kask is a barber living a drab life who takes to a little girl, but his approaches are misconstrued as pedophilia. The single mom, Laura, watches a sappy soap opera on TV and pushes away mens 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 dont take him seriously. Ultimately, the film is a pitch black comedy about people attempting to overcome isolation.
