Jan's journey towards self-discovery is sparked by the loss of his father-in-law, whose life was defined by his declining health and dependence on others. As Jan's wife Olga makes decisions about her father's life and funeral, Jan feels a sense of loss of control and autonomy. He reminisces about his past, when he had his own desires and aspirations, and now yearns to live life on his own terms. In his quest for freedom and dignity, Jan seeks escape from his current circumstances, and the film follows the parallel stories of his married daughters and sons-in-law as they navigate their own struggles and relationships.
