A puppeteer and his puppet become captives of Romanian Stalinism in its harshest years. After the horrors of prisons and labour camps, Brunul seems to have forgotten himself and lives only for his marionettes, leading an anonymous, colourless life in a grey and dangerous world, in a police state that watches every moment of his days. Comrade Bojin and Eliza never leave his side, and the mystery of his past life becomes entangled with a new one, whose solution will change how he sees his own story. A tale of forgetting, love, naivety, hatred and forgiveness, between personal and official truth.
