The settled lives of three families, held together by ties that give security but drain life of meaning, start to burn and come apart. The old women Mina, Siya and Rahel keep weaving the destinies they have imagined for the others, but the threads snap. Malina sets out on a dangerous journey back in search of the father she has never met, and Misho vanishes into a magic mountain, returning with an experience of freedom he cannot share.
