The film based on Franz Kafka stories ("Josephine the Singer or the Mouse People", "The Study of One Dog", "The Artist of Hunger", "Ancient Record", "Rejection", "Children on the Road", "Boredom" ", "America"), united by a single plot, is a documentary report from a fictional world.

The theater, in which people are hiding – adults and children, who have arranged their lives in different corners of the building, is besieged from the outside by an influx of wild nomads. The newcomers do not yet dare to make contact with the residents of the theater, but keep them in constant tension. The real idol of the residents of the theater is the singer Josephine, who shares the anxieties of her community, but all the time demands special attention to her person. After all, her art is nothing special – her screeching is the natural language of all the inhabitants.

Josephine claims exclusive adoration. That is why she is jealous of a visiting foreigner boy who demonstrates hunger pangs and distracts people from paying attention to the diva.

Josephine's power is irresistible, because her voice is the personification of the voice of the people who live their anxious everyday life in paradoxical conditions.
