The subject of the film is the problem of the migration of young people from the countryside to the cities in search of an easier life. The meeting of the whole family - whose paths have diverged a long time ago - with the sick father and a long conversation with him determine the final decision of the film's protagonist, Janek: he will return to where he comes from, to the countryside, to his fatherland.
