The most usual day of the most usual person usually goes like this:
1) Getting up
2) Washing and cleaning teeth
3) Cooking breakfast
4) Eating that same breakfast
5) Dressing and doing one’s hair
6) Leaving the house
7) Going to work
8) and so on.
And it looks as if everything was well-planned and should be alright… but now and then something just breaks into this neat order, and changes our entire life completely in the blink of an eye. That’s exactly what happened to Sam, a security guard in the mall. It happened on 22nd of May. And that “something” was a bomb detonated by a suicide-bomber in that very mall, where Sam works. What could have made the most ordinary young man do such a thing? What could have been the reason? This is what the characters of the film are to find out in the course from their surreal retrospective journey along the line that lies between life and death back to the origins of this terrible event.

“22nd of May” is very complicated and a definitely hard film to watch. However, it is filled with an enormous love for life. To be more precise, the message of the film is for us to treasure our life, to enjoy its every moment, to live it so that you never regret about the things that were never done, about the words that were never said, “to act according to the calling of one’s heart, to trust premonitions”.
