Karel has not heard from his father Ivan in 20 years, as the man left the country when Karel was just a teenager. Now, Karel’s sister Heda and his uncle Rudolf have decided to declare Ivan dead due to the mounting debt he left behind, putting the family at risk of losing their house. But the police have a shocking message for them: Ivan is alive and well in a small Italian town and wishes to make contact. So, Karel, Heda and Rudolf set off on a road trip to visit him. They meet and have an awkward dinner peppered with decades of pent-up frustration, many unanswered questions and Ivan’s erratic behaviour. The next morning, however, their reunion comes to an abrupt end when the family is informed that Ivan has been run over by a car. Their shock is compounded when they see how Ivan really lived – a homeless alcoholic relying on the kindness of strangers. Karel has to come to terms with his father’s past, questioning whether his curiously timed death was in fact suicide or even murder, while confronting him with his own future.
