A child coming to the world provokes future parents to confront their own relatives. For neither of them is it easy as they come from broken homes. Paula has several cautious conversations online, but her partner, the director of the documentary, who lost his mother a few years ago, decides to inform his father in person. Andrei sets out on a unique journey to the monastery at the foot of Mount Athos. It is where his father, who is a devout monk today, found his place on Earth. The director has high expectations as he would like to make up for the lost time and understand his father’s decision but, first and foremost, he would like to learn how to become a better parent himself.
