A reclusive Bulgarian railway trackman finds millions of cash spilled on the tracks and turns them in to the police. When the transport ministry’s head of PR decides to use him as a diversion from a corruption scandal, his simple life falls victim to the grinder of bureaucracy.
An inspector finds millions of leva on the railroad tracks during a search. He hands over the money to the police, and thus, the state organizes an event to honor him. The head of the department of Public Relations of the Ministry of Transportation, Julia Staikova, takes the inspector’s old watch, a family heirloom, in order to give him a new one: a gift for his morals. Along the way, the new watch breaks and the old one gets lost. A desperate battle to restore the treasured heirloom and his dignity begins.
