Set in the decaying Central Baths indoor pool in Sofia, the film follows Anton, a naïve dreamer who wants to sail the world, and Martha, a button‑obsessed cashier, as they sustain the illusion for Anton’s blind father that the business is thriving. Anton’s brother Gregor, an amoral developer, aims to raze the town for a massive condominium, engineers a disastrous accident threatening the pool, and steals Eva, the woman Anton loves. The story asks whether Gregor’s scheme will succeed.
