Two men walk through forests and over mountains, looking for the land that a well-known Partisan song calls our land. Rajić, a walker and pilgrim of the revolution, is the guide, searching for the names and fates of the early Partisan movement through which that land came into being. On walks across Fruška Gora, Kalin, Crepoljsko, the Kalnik hills, Pohorje and Triglav, his road to Yugoslavia climbs physically towards the peaks while the story descends into Yugoslav history, in societies that have gone to war against everything Yugoslav. Rajić, with his chronicler at his side, looks like a knight of sad countenance of the second Yugoslavia.
