Oleg and Nikola decide that the engineer Sobotka, an old-style loser, is the man to restart a derelict factory. When Sobotka sees the pair twenty years after he last worked there, the plant looks like a graveyard to him and he takes them for ghosts. In the remote small town of N., caught in the whirl of transition, distant worlds meet, past and present, Siberia and the Maghreb, the Dinaric mountains and London, in unlikely combinations of people whose relationships play out as much in what is left unsaid as in words.
