Synopsis:
A successful young doctor, Lazar Perkov, married to a beautiful woman with whom he has a child. He has everything – even friends and relatives call him ‘Lucky’. But looks are sometimes deceiving; despite all earthly pleasures, Lazarus constantly tries to please his mother, father and his uninterested wife. Every day is the same for him, until one day he barely survives a serious car accident.
After the recovery, Lazarus is confronted by people who seem to die over and over again, each time bringing the same message: “Give back what is not yours. Have respect.” After Lazarus realizes that these apparitions of his are not just dreams, but part of everyday life, he concludes that they are lost souls who have not yet found peace in the other world, and finally discovers what he actually must return.
