Andrei plays in an underground rock band in Iaşi and has one last night of drinking with his best friend who has decided to leave the country for good.
A middle-aged rocker lives with his grandmother in a country house where he makes all the preparations necessary for the hard winter. Following a concert with his band and a last night of drinking with his best friend who has decided to emigrate, he is left wondering what will happen next in his life. Shot in an observational way, without any intervention from the director, the documentary captures the sincere and genuine relationship between the two old friends who are brought together by both the good times of their youth and the frustrations of the present.
