The characters in this film are the tenants of the "hotel for singles". Much like the hotel itself, they are run-down by the wild and deviant version of liberal capitalism that has consumed Serbian society. The thing that connects them is that neither the hotel nor its' tenants wanted to end up where they are. When a stranger comes to the hotel with the intent to commit suicide, it changes the lives of all its habitants.

Once we enter the hotel in the beginning of the film, following shortly after the suicide of an unknown woman, we never leave that space. We are completely immersed in the microcosm of the hotel, feeling the growing tension between the tenants. The suicide upsets each of them and, suddenly, they find themselves increasingly colliding with one another, forming this weird collective bound by everyone's misfortune. We get to know them as we follow one of the tenants’ investigation. It is Jasna (59) a retired nurse, that feels most triggered by the woman’s suicide.  She begins to look for answers on who was this woman, and why did she jump to her death.  She “questions” the few tenants that live in the hotel, only to learn of their reactions and thoughts and nothing on the late, mysterious woman. This event makes Jasna question her own existence and pushes her to change.

The film is a group portrait of characters from the margin of society with Jasna at its center.

MARKO (35) is the general manager of the hotel that is preparing it to be shut down and turned into a water park shortly. He doesn’t need the bad press around a suicide. He bought the hotel for a small amount of money in the privatization process of what was once socialist public property. KRISTINA (28) and ANDREJ (26) work the front desk. Kristina is an unemployed psychologist and Andrej is an eternal college student and bartender whose father kicked him out for being gay. They stick together as outcasts of society since they didn’t make it, and also outcasts in their own families from whom they both ran. DRAGAN (56) is a former legal officer who now works at a gas station and BORIS (34) is a delivery truck driver whose stutter and twitching subdue only when he is behind a steering wheel. Jasna feels the urge to find meaning and sense in the tragic death of the strange woman because it is a the same time a search for her own meaning. Through the “investigation” they get connected.

As they are generationally close, Andrej, Boris and Kristina share a dark sense of humor, although Andrej is the frontrunner in this wisecracking. Dragan and Jasna are reclusive people from another time and another country who remember better days and feel debased by the reality of the current moment. They can endure only by anesthetizing themselves out of their own lives.  The suicide also draws out anger in the tenants because it brings into question the meaning of all their lives. This sudden presence of death begs the question if they are living at all.  The only thing left from the mysterious late woman is a silver Suzuki parked in front of the hotel. It is like a constant presence of a death and at the irritable reminder  for all tenants of unreachable financial change. Some of them want to demolish it, some of them want to steal it and Marko just wants to get rid of it. With the appearance of NIKOLA (34), a young undertaker in search of customers in the hotel, Jasna finds a similar soul and they form a strange friendship. Even though it turns out that there's no one who can pay for the woman's funeral, Nikola keeps coming back.  He is in search of human contact and death for him means that he gets to intract with other people in his lonely life. His quirky sense of humor and life philosophy amuse and motivate Jasna.

As the investigation turns out to be futile, the imminent threat of the demolition of the hotel gets very real. They will lose their home, however depressive it may be. In order to make sense out of anything in this situation, Jasna decides to bury the unknown woman. The funeral that Nikola and Jasna organize becomes a joint project for all the tenants. It is a death that cannot be explained that connects them.

In a borderline situation, it appears the only thing that stands between life and death and prevents us from being overwhelmed like that surreal sound of waves occasionally heard by Jasna, are the people around us, however distant they may seem.
