2008 kehrt Remo nach Jahren des Exils in sein Heimatland Kosovo zurück. Er soll seiner Cousine Una bei der Exhumierung eines Massengrabes helfen, in dem die meisten ihrer Familienmitglieder während des Krieges begraben wurden. Doch die Leichen enthüllen Familiengeheimnisse, die Remo und Una dazu drängen, ihre Zukunft in Frage zu stellen. Ein Film über mögliche Wahrheiten an einem Ort, der nur das Überleben kennt.
