Summer’s end. A young couple prepares their return to Montevideo. The situation between them is not the best and the journey in the car is marked by silence. Until she realizes that she has forgotten something in the summer house and that they have to return. The journey continues but the distance between them already seems impassable. How far is Montevideo from Warsaw? Are there blizzards in the center of the Uruguayan countryside? Where is somebody from, who has forgotten his roots?
