His plan to visit his estranged brother Niko becomes complicated when a traffic accident leads to a murder, forcing Maxim into a web of moral dilemmas. The film blends thriller elements with family drama and dark humor, exploring themes common to Balkan cinema such as return to one’s roots and the tension between tradition and modernity.

The narrative also draws parallels with literary works, including Stefan Bošković's novel 'Mjesto rođenja,' which explores similar themes of inescapable origins.
