Apostle: A gentle knight in Brutalia

Apostol, a talented young poet suffers from severe headache for a long time now, which makes him unable to work. Guided in his dreams by his idols - Apollinaire and Debelyanov , Apostol tries to find his way back to the beauty of poetry and the bliss of life. His mother, who takes care of his alcoholic sister-and her traumatized child, is having hardship due to a helpless situation she gets in, which forces Apostol to go through series of trials to save his family.
