CINE: The earthly life of the main character seems fleeting and meaningless to him, so Fori (50) prefers the starry sky – he is a passionate amateur astronomer. By a strange coincidence, he travels with his best friend Theo to the Danube Delta. He ends up in Vilkovo, a city in Ukraine. Here Fori unwittingly commits a crime and lies in prison, but in this strange city he finds true love. But fate has other plans. Will there be punishment for the child’s death? Prosecution or conscience will be the harshest judge.

The protagonist’s unintentional crime and the chronicle of his subsequent imprisonment highlight the inescapability of moral conscience, but also the fragile human relationships as what ultimately gives meaning to existence.
