Summary

The film maps the attempt of sociologist Fedor Gál to find out how his father, Vojtech Gál, whom he never knew, really died. The only signpost at the start of Gál's path was the report that Vojtech Gál was murdered in April 1945 by Nazis during a death walk from the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to Schwerin.
