Synopsis
A satirical drama based on a man who’s never lost. Always the Perfection of the Year, the youngest ever to win a Perfectlimpyad. All his days start the same: wake up with a Perfect outfit, make an egg who adores you, look at the Perfect award wall right in front of you and read the news (looking for yourself, obviously). One day Saulius reads about an observation chair, which is out in the park – a place where you can judge others and feel better about yourself. However, this day is different: Saulius gets a Sun stroke, which turns his world upside down. He joins Narcissus Anonymous – but how long can he stay there?
