In the film, the protagonist draws the water in his memory on a blank
canvas. In the memory, he goes back to his childhood when he led an
idyllic life, and in those days, he had an infinite yearning for the
distant place. Today, he feels unwell when living in the urban area
haunted by noisy sounds and unsavory breaths. The moonlight and autumn
scenery in the ancients’ paintings have been replaced by the
mechanical landscapes in the cities. In what direction will we drift
if we go on another long journey?

A young man is roaming through the city of Guanajuato accompanied by
his friend. He is happy to be away from the hospital, which is a sad
and cold place. The city is his home and brings back lost memories and
emotions. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Belgrade, four women
weave their own threads into the story. As one of them dressed as
Frida Kahlo disappears into the spotlight of the theatre stage, she’s
accompanied by the Serbian version of “Paloma Negra”, reminding us
that only love is eternal in this fleeting world.
