Embedded in the realities of post-war Poland, the story of parents struggling with grief, setting off with their son on the last journey, told from the perspective of their grandson John. Son of Hanna and Jakub, soldier of AK Wacław "Odrowąż" Szewczyk, is shot in autumn 1946 by UB. After a series of humiliations suffered by the new authority, the desecrating delay of their child, Hanna and Jakub decide to provide the son with a dignified burial at Calvary Pacławska 500 km away. The journey of parents through the still-plunging nightmare of Poland becomes a metaphorical journey into the depths of the human soul and an attempt to recreate the definition of humanity in a world where neighbors turn against each other, and an enemy can become an unexpected ally.
