Nikola is a film director stuck in commercials. He learns from his parents about the possibility of finally bringing home the remains of his late grandmother, who fled Croatia during the war and died in Serbia in the early 2000s. Nikola embarks on this journey with his father Mirko and learns lessons about parenthood, family, and memories that sometimes aren’t real.
