Mihail Iliev, a former geography teacher, knows all about directions but has lost his own: he dreamed all his life of travel and never left Bulgaria. Raised in a socialist home by a controlling mother and a father hidden behind his newspaper, he meets Kosta in middle age, a man who longed for a flat and ended up on the street. Equally free of ambition, the two become friends at once, standing at the exit from the old era and the entrance to the new. A professor who owns thousands of books but has never written one completes the trio. Their shared failures lead the teacher to draft a speech for the day he might return to the classroom, about knowing who you are, dreaming your own dreams rather than your neighbour's, and making dreams real through daily effort.
