Jozef is a middle-aged, middle class man who lives in the middle of Europe. His life seems ordinary - he has a house, a family and a work with a regular income. And he has rules that help him to survive in a jungle of a modern everyday life. But when an entertaining show “Live Sharks” arrives to the town, Jozef starts to realize that there are strange, unknown feelings hidden inside him, ready to emerge... The movie is a metaphoric ballad about Jozef, small, broken citizen, whose trivial problems grow into unexpected dimensions and just an ironic point of view helps to understand the real urgency of his dreams, desires and disappointments, which refer to the world we live in.
