A documentary focused on the transitional years from the totalitarian regime to democracy in Bulgaria. A thorough interpretation of the period as a reference note to world-famous French philosopher and sociologist Jean Baudrillard’s notion of ‘simulation’. The film’s title is an ironic extension of Sigmund Freud’s famous quote, "America is a mistake, admittedly a gigantic mistake", which implies the Austrian scientist’s disappointment from empty American life in which money is the utmost value.
