The Golden Gate is a well-known children's rhyme, but also an ancient image of the Last Judgment, when souls pass through the golden gate into another world and, before being admitted, are fought over by an angel and a devil, good and evil. In the spirit of this analogy, the film tells a compelling contemporary story about an unconventional love affair. Eva Štanglová is a university professor. After a failed marriage, her husband has just left her and moved in with his Italian mistress. Eva feels betrayed and completely alone. There is someone close to her who is just as lonely. He is a Moldovan guest worker, working as a bricklayer on scaffolding outside Eva's window.
