A small farm community is on the brink of getting swallowed by raging war. Lives of the frightened locals get shaken by the arrival of two men on the run from the mysterious, apparently vengeful Peedu. Following events delve into the fine ties of human relationships and the meaning of individual existence lurking behind them. A seemingly pessimistic premise of the film slowly turns into something much more complex – a work that depicts the frailty of deep human connection and reaffirms it as a legitimate possibility once we learn to let go.
