The film documents the life of one of the oldest and largest markets in Europe. Passion on both sides of the counter, the loaders’ dreams, the fish sellers’ hidden fantasies…The security guards and the flea market manager share their thoughts about the universe and the meaning of life. The past, the present, the future — predictions from fortune-tellers, the ‘most correct weight’, and the generous tasting samples are exposed and revealed. And the same is true for all kinds of town folks at the Pryvoz! Everybody comes here, and everyone finds something for themselves. Anyone who searches for miracles or metamorphoses – in destiny, the human soul, and time – will not leave there empty-handed either.
