A well-known Serbian filmmaker Zelimir Zilnik (winner of 'Golden bear' in Berlin, 1969, for 'Early works') goes to Slovenia to present his latest film at a festival. Accidentally he meets Janez Skok, a man who introduces himself as his relative. Zelimir is surprised because he knows nothing about his relatives: he was born in 1942 in a Nazi concentration camp in Nis and all members of his family were killed by Fascists. The conversation with Janez and his 96-year old mother raises the issue of the destiny of anti-fascism in post-communist countries and makes Zelimir visit the village of Kozja, close to the Serbian-Bulgarian border, where his father Konrad was decapitated by Chetniks. In the village Zelimir is able to hear a moving story about the last days of his father.
