The film is a medieval road movie following the knight Bořek, who starts searching for his missing son. Little Jan ran away from home, rushing after an illusion about the holy mission of children. His aging father searches for him in every possible way, but arrives everywhere too late, finding only witnesses who have seen the boy. Gradually his image of the boy starts to crumble and the landscape he travels through resembles more and more his own state of mind.

The film stars Karel Roden as the knight Bořek.
