In the splendidly decorated barbaric world of Antwerp, an ordinary lonely Lucien has an inhuman capability to stick metal objects to his body. An introverted Buster Keaton-like man of a few words is a hapless artist, clown, freak, and musician with a wounded heart and a quiet violin. His vocation is to entertain the common people despite his burning pain and guilt for the inevitable loss of an estranged father.

Федор — молодой слесарь из Мурманска. Долгой зимней ночью он перемещается от одного заказчика к другому по серым лабиринтам замерзшего города. Здесь так давно не видели солнца, что реальность начинает приобретать фантасмагорические черты. Искусно снятый блуждающей, сомнамбулической камерой дипломный фильм бельгийца Дориана Йесперса вплотную приглядывается к потусторонней русской жизни — кажется, теперь у России есть свой «Вход в пустоту».

On his downfall from Heaven to Hell, Lucifer passes through the earthly paradise, a village in Mexico, where elderly Lupita and her granddaughter Maria live. Lupita's brother Emanuel pretends he's paralyzed so he can drink and gamble while the two women tend to the sheep. Lucifer senses an opportunity and plays the miraculous healer. He forces Emanuel to walk again, seduces Maria and makes Lupita doubt about her faith. He didn't bring bad luck, he only illuminated the line between good and evil, where it didn't exist before.
