ELIKSIIRI
The groom stands nervous in front of the altar. Why is the bride still not showing up? From the front row, the mother supervises her son. A drunken cleaner glances at the festive crown from the corner. She has been searching for love year after year without finding it, watched one happy couple after another step on the altar. The wedding march starts, the dream wedding can finally begin. Follows inappropriate love, fierce passion, and gothic gloom. The high level circus technique is accompanied by ironically used love ballads.
