Anton returns to his hometown after years away to fulfill his father's final wish: to play the jester at the local festival. The town, frozen in its Soviet past, greets him with cold silence and unspoken judgment. Each day of preparation for the performance becomes a painful journey into a childhood filled with buried resentments and family secrets. The 2025 drama explores themes of fatherhood, duty, and the impossibility of outrunning one's own history. The film transforms a personal story into a universal parable about the masks we wear to conceal pain, and how sometimes one must become a fool to finally find freedom.
