Simas wakes up - hungover, as usual - only to find his ex-girlfriend at his doorstep. Later on his best friend Vacys comes over as well. The friends suddenly find themselves at the never-ending party of life, in the background of which their loves, ex-loves and present friendships take form and shine through. This is an excerpt from the lives of three young people, a story about indecision and attempts to understand all the rights and wrongs in life.

Inside a lab, a robot is created. Like a newborn, it analyses its surroundings with the primitive senses and limited knowledge it has. While exploring such fundamental concepts as distance, weight, light and size, the robot tries to perform basic physical tasks that would resemble natural human motion. It fails miserably but keeps on learning. Perhaps a less intelligent life form such as a dog will be less critical when assessing what it means to be human?
