Jan, a man at a crossroads, decides to go on a trip to a country ravaged by war. Very soon, however, his weariness with life seems pitiful compared to the fate of those who cling to the slightest hope for reconstruction. As he builds relationships with the survivors he meets, he rediscovers meaning in his own life. The film is an ode to resilience, an ode to life.
