In 1947, among the ruins of war and in anticipation of a catastrophic flood, the locals of a Vojvodina village find themselves caught between the devastation of their livelihoods and the demands of the new Communist authorities.

A man who used to be a political brigade commissar offended the society. Twenty years after the war, he comes to visit the old monument erected in honor of his dead comrades, unwanted and abandoned. They were roll-calling the dead and alive, but his name was not mentioned. And he stood before his comrades, face to face. He stood, and it looked as if he had never existed.
