Who is Gabriel and how does he fulfill wishes to those that open their hearts?
An erotic photographer discovers hidden doorways in the city of Zagreb while shooting undressed girls. An artist lies naked and covered with fish in her performance in a window display. Her third husband, whom she met at a cemetery (just like her first husband) applies nail polish for her. Two actors (real life couple) perform a rape scene. Chinese tourists discover last century’s whorehouses in Zagreb while a singer yearns for the ‘right one’. Who is Gabriel and how does he fulfill wishes to those that open their hearts?
