The young Matei grows up in the vibrant Bucharest of the 1930s, but his family loses everything in the dictatorship. And Matei is sentenced for political poems, to camp work in the Danube Delta, where nature is fascinating but merciless and life hard, sometimes deadly. The humanity among the prisoners keeps him alive - and also the hatred. After years he is pardoned, experiences family happiness, but never real peace. When Matei sees the 'beautiful Pan¿', an interrogation officer, again in the new, great freedom after the fall of the Iron Curtain, he finally wants to face the ghosts of the past. And makes a plan.

Over the course of a lifetime, Catalin Dorian Florescu tells the story of the drama of the European East in stirring, poetic images, which continues to this day. A great reflection on happiness, revenge, justice and the question: When is man really free?
