The story of a whole generation during the Soviet period is told through the main character: his childhood spent in a village, true friendship, work in the Soviet Klaipeda, thrilling eroticism and fatal love – everything is so simple and so painfully real. Vortex is a film about the inconspicuous life of a man who was broken by the Soviet gloom. This life story is divided into three parts: a painful childhood experience, adolescence marked by the tragic loss of a best friend, and a short life as an adult, ending without support in the vacuity of the Soviet period.
