In a remote village, everything is turned upside down. The locals behave in a rather… peculiar way. As it turns out, there is a long-standing and mystical reason behind it.

Here, the “normal” world collides with the village’s “blessed” reality. And behind the cheerful, sometimes absurd whirlwind of events arise questions about the nature of happiness, the boundaries of society, the all-conquering power of love, and the cost of so-called normal life.
