A mosaic film combining fragments from the everyday lives of the characters who live along a non-existent Balkan road. The road passes through the countries of Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania. is a huge EU infrastructural project meant to link the Black and the Adriatic Seas, already a decade in the planning. Along the way you'll meet a cowboy train, a railway tunnel used for growing mushrooms, an international businessman building an oil pipeline, a local politician dreaming of becoming the next American president, a pimp working for KFOR soldiers and even a song dedicated to , which seems to be the only real thing in a surreal world. Following the road's thread this "non-road" film captures the moods, the prejudices and the hope of the people from the three Balkan countries, who paradoxically are "far away, so close" to each other.
