A filmmaker returns to Makermal in Kosovo with her father, who has been in exile for sixty years. Together, they recreate his childhood memories with the villagers, despite the destruction of the village. The Kosovo of the 1950s is reborn through this collective project, revealing some shocking truths, including the mysterious disappearance of the director's grandmother. This journey reveals the resilience of a community where oral histories are the only witnesses to an erased past.
