A young man who has lost the meaning of life after being fired and family conflicts makes desperate suicide attempts, but each time he faces absurd obstacles, until a chance meeting with a woman who also hides her scars gives him a faint but vivid hope.

SYNOPSIS:

Anton, a 29-year-old desperate man stuck in a vicious circle of debt, unemployment, and toxic relationships with his family, decides to commit suicide. He tries different ways of suicide, from overdosing on sleeping pills to jumping off a bridge, but each time fate or chance intervenes: a rope breaks, neighbors frighten, passers—by interfere, or simply lack the determination. His attempts are accompanied by bitter humor and dark fantasies about the consequences that will come after his departure.

In a moment of utter despair, Anton receives a message from Tanya, a woman from a dating site who responds to his "mutual sympathy." Their dialogue, filled with sarcasm and hidden pain, becomes an unexpected lifeline. At the meeting, it turns out that Tanya also has her own scars — physical and emotional. Instead of direct declarations of love, they exchange cynical jokes and metaphors, but in this fragile union, Anton feels connected to another person for the first time in a long time.

The ending remains open: it is unclear whether this meeting will be the beginning of healing or a temporary pause in his struggle. However, even a faint ray of light breaking through the darkness makes you think: perhaps life is still capable of surprising.
