For Sońka everything ended long ago, with the war: she lived and felt so much then that afterwards she neither lived nor felt, keeping only memories and a dog collar with a Gothic inscription. A chance meeting on a village road with Igor, a sought-after theatre director stranded beyond mobile range, lets her story finally be heard. He turns it into a play as she speaks, making his own version of events, until Ignacy, whom Igor has tried hard to forget, turns up at the village cottage. A war romance about then and now, here and there.
