Izzo works in a special ambulance called a "log truck". His job is to collect the bodies of the recently deceased and drive them to the morgue. Its "clients" are all victims of murder, suicide or homeless people who have died due to adverse living conditions. He faces the harshness of death every day in the company of his colleague, the driver "Avera" (Stefan Shterev).
Avera and Mimi (Lydia Indzhova), a pretty and sweet morgue employee, are Izzo's only friends. It's clear that Mimi likes Izzo, but he doesn't pay attention to her at all. He had a caring mother as a child, but she was sometimes quite harsh and sadistic towards him. That's why Izzo only likes women who torture him. Just like Katya - a very attractive woman of Izzo's age. She has a 14-year-old son, Mario, from a previous relationship. Mario shows real talent in the fine arts, but lack of money limits his ability to learn and develop.
Itzo befriends the boy and falls desperately in love with Katya - not only because of her beauty, but also because of her mysterious personality. She is the mistress of the mafia boss Rocco (Mikhail Bilalov) - a ruthless killer turned politician.
Stefan Shterev:
"The film will make you laugh, cry and think. I am glad that cinema is increasingly giving flesh to young directors like Mitko, who have a lot to show and tell. Before filming, we met the actual people who do this work - and yes, the corpses are indeed collected by van!"- Keywords
