About the plot
16-year-old Adrian used to sing in the church choir, and now he makes angels out of wax. In search of a better life, he decides to leave Transnistria to work in Europe with his friend Ion. But their plans were not destined to come true.
This is a psychological and biographical sketch about the boy Andrian, who lives in a remote village in Moldova. His life begins with the acceptance of the cruel reality - the first love, the importance of the first choice, which will affect future destiny.
On the eve of Easter, in search of a better life for himself, the guy decides to escape to Europe: he has five days at his disposal to prepare and implement his plan. He decides to sell the silver bowl, which belonged to his great-grandfather, in order to get at least some money.
It also seems to Andrian that his mother is having an affair with the owner of a local bird farm. Then the boy decides to take revenge on the man and secretly kills his dog, after which he disrupts the important business of his son Sergiu.
