Plot Successful architect Nikola has problems. Already stressed at the office due to a coworker's breach of professional ethics, he goes home to a life with a wife, Maja, and young daughter that offers no respite. Maja can barely contain her pain and anger over her awareness that Nikola is having an affair. Ana, his colleague and mistress of six years, has her own problems, as his endless promises to leave Maja continue to ring hollow. When Maja confesses in a family gathering and Nikola loses his balance as his life spins out of control. Unable to take actions or even make decisions to reverse his problems he made, Nikola finally learns the meaning of the old axiom “he who hesitates is lost” in the midst of unexpectedly tragic consequences.
