Story

When they retire, Slavica (64) and Željko (66) return to their Serbian home village after more than thirty years. For him, returning is a long-awaited dream and the hope of escaping the threat of poverty in old age in Switzerland. For Slavica, it means one thing above all: another farewell to her family and a life that has long since become her home. Out of loyalty and to keep an old promise, she leaves Switzerland for good and moves with Željko into their newly built house on the Serbian outskirts. But the new beginning is not what they had hoped for. While Željko clings to his romantic idea of returning home, Slavica begins to have increasing doubts about their repatriation.
