The story takes place in the Serbian province of Vojvodina in a multi-ethnic setting. It is a story about love and faith, that is, faith in love that conquers time and space. The director has explained that the story has been derived from a literary blog, which is popular among young members of Vojvodina's Hungarian minority and which was originally launched in 2010.

Tomi is fleeing. While he’s running away from his past, he relives his traumas, the controversial relationship with his father and his elder brother. The silhouette of a family tragedy oppresses him.

In November 1956, many people fled to Tito in Yugoslavia and were confronted with socialism, which they called "man-faced". The film's heroes find temporary refuge on a Bunyevac farmer's farm and await their fate there, as well as in nearby Subotica, in a long-simmering family and social environment, under the supervision of local internal security officers. One of them, a participant in the 1942 massacre in Baška, later a carpenter, now posing as a revolutionary, tries to blackmail his host with old memories. A naive young man of faith tries to clear up the gendarme's past, his son, a Stalinist, and his role in the revolution, as does the penitent intellectual.
