Synopsis:

The Barmaid is a sincere and straightforward girl, emotional, neurotic. Being a mature, she met a man - a musician (singing a bit out of tune).


The first months were idyllic. The Barmaid loved him with whole her hearth. A few years passed. The Barmaid and her man got known each other to the edge of their subconsciousness, they even dreamt the same dreams.
They lived like husband and wife - living, cooking and doing the laundry together in a tiny flat decorated in an eccentric way. One day, the Barmaid woke up from a deep sleep. For a moment she didn't know where she was - she was filled with a strange anxiety. She turned to the other side, her man was sleeping. She looked at him and in one second she felt that she didn't love him, that she didn't feel anything to him. That second prolonged into a day, week, month. One evening, a Manager was picking the Barmaid up at work. He is a kind of a self-aware intellectual, cynic, he resigned himself to the human nature. However, there are last reserves of longing in his irony.


Perhaps some feelings to the Barmaid arise in the Manager – but he assumes that it will pass as well, and nothing will remain. The Manager chooses the risk and unknown from the known and bitter one. He doesn’t want to be lonely in his choice, that’s why he picks some other way for him and the Barmaid.
