Synopsis
Two men - a father and a son - meet in an empty apartment. All there is left from what was once a family is hatred, disappointment and relationships in vain. What happened? Why did it happen? Where did it all go wrong? The story shows an effort to try to understand why everything valuable can be lost so easily and how these patterns seem to repeat themselves from generation to generation. As we follow the efforts of these two men trying to make their lives understandable to each other, it slowly becomes clear that they never really managed to grow up, that they are just two wounded children unable to break loose from their past - we see child in time.
