Einārs Priede learns that he is suffering from a serious illness, which propels him to set off on a journey he has long been putting off — he wants to uncover the actual circumstances of his daughter’s death.
In order to understand what led his nonreligious daughter, Anni, to commit group suicide at a religious commune five years earlier, Einārs must travel through Latvia, Estonia, and even to Paris to meet with key figures from Anni’s life.
Slowly, as Einārs tries to reconstruct Anni’s last few years through the memories of others and compare them to his own understanding of the daughter he raised, a dark and complicated picture begins to unfold.
The more Einārs learns about Anni, the more he starts to question whether he ever truly knew his daughter. Soon enough, we are faced with the dilemma of whether it would have been better to leave the past undisturbed.
