<!--[if gte vml 1]> /v:formulas /v:shapetype /v:shape<![endif]-->Cigarettes, Jimmy believes, are stylish. For fifty years, he smoked one or two packs of his favourite brand, Davros, each day. After his doctor tells him he has only a few weeks left to live, Jimmy takes a drastic decision: his last breath will be filled with Davros.

Instead of informing his wife and children about his condition, he sets out to complete his mission. He meets the cigarette trader Missirian, and together they travel to Armenia; the homeland of his favourite tobacco. The journey turns into a search for the “good old times”, where you could enjoy life without all modern rules and restrictions. But as his trip drags on, Jimmy realises how much he has neglected his family, and starts to doubt his priorities in life.
