A police officer who is unhappily in love with a cashier, a sculptor who dreams of emigrating, a young man who constantly tries to commit suicide.
And, in the midst of it all, two blind jewellery thieves, who are about to make the heist of their lives.
The various threads of the narrative cross each other in unexpected ways, while the film leaps backwards and forwards in time - but all the pieces of the puzzle fall into exactly the right place at the end, even if they dont do so in the way one might expect.
