In a small German town of the 1920s, a lonely man finds himself at a turning point in his life. After suffering a devastating personal loss, he decides to embark on a journey through a desolate rural landscape that mirrors his inner turmoil. As he walks along the path, his mind fills with memories of his past life, accompanied by visions of what could have been.
During his journey, he encounters a series of colorful characters: a wise old man who offers a philosophical perspective on suffering, a dreamy young woman seeking to escape her oppressive reality, and a group of farmers struggling to adapt to the changes of the modern era. As he interacts with these strangers, the man begins to confront his own demons and questions his purpose in the world.
Through evocative landscapes and a nostalgic visual style, the narrative delves into universal themes such as loneliness, the search for redemption, and the struggle between the past and the future. Each encounter further immerses him in his own emotional journey, leading him to a poignant climax where he must make a crucial decision: to continue clinging to his pain or to accept the possibility of a new beginning. The journey is not only physical, but also internal, exploring what it truly means to live in a world that seems to have lost its way.
