This is a journey film—both internal and external—set across Albania, Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Greece. The story follows a director on a quest to find the lost film by the Manakis brothers, purported to be Greece's first motion picture. However, his search leads him not to a cinematic treasure, but to the slow death agony of the Balkans themselves. His journey culminates not in discovery, but in depression, pain, and a profound sense of defeat—a feeling powerfully symbolized by the recurring image of a fragmented statue of Lenin.
