Director Serban Oliver Tataru's family emigrated to Germany from Nicloae Ceausescu's dictatorship in Romania.

In this film, his family retraces their steps, recalling a world without opportunities or hope for the future, of ever-present fear and a constant struggle for survival.

They also look back on what made them exchange their home for the promise of freedom in an uncertain future.
