Albena, a Bulgarian artist living in Switzerland, arrives in her native town of Plovdiv. She is back to spend the Cristmas time with her 89-years-old mother. At their very private dinner, their conversation reaches a point of conflict: it is 43 years to the day since their 17-years-old son and brother committed suicide in an act of political and personal protest. The mother doesn’t want to talk about it. The film moves back and forth between past and present and between locations in Plovdiv, Prague and Basel, to reveal the circumstances that led to brother’s death.
