Following the mutual collapse of a long-term relationship, Zagreb author A. decides to write a non-fiction book exploring the mechanics of modern romance. To understand why love routinely dissolves, he tracks down a diverse series of his ex-girlfriends to hear their unvarnished, firsthand perspectives on their past relationships. As he balances these nostalgic, often deeply philosophical interviews with his day-to-day hustle trying to secure a job writing biographies for local Croatian pop stars, A. is forced to confront the stark contrast between the traditional 20th-century ideals of romance and the fragmented, cynical expectations of the new millennium.
