Ivan has just turned 60. Shorty after he learns that he is dying. His life in a village, clinging to property, his painter job, boring relationship with his wife and the feeling of emptiness come into confrontation with mortality. The sudden banality of life forces him, his wife, and their two adult children to existential questions and searching for authentic feelings. This intimate story about the rediscovery of joy, love and freedom unfolds against the backdrop of an everyday reality where the health-care system is dysfunctional, relations are cold, and spiritual sensibility is all lost.

Reálny príbeh Alfréda Wetzlera, ktorému sa ako jednému z mála podarilo utiecť z koncentračného tábora Osvienčim. Cieľom úteku nebolo zachrániť si len vlastný život, ale podať správu o systematickom vyvražďovaní Židov a zároveň zabrániť deportácií maďarských Židov do koncentračných táborov. Film zobrazuje život v tábore, prípravy na útek, útek samotný, ako aj záchranu Wetzlera a jeho odovzdanie „Správy“.
