Gebo lives a quiet life in a European port city with his wife, Doroteia, and his daughter-in-law, Sofia. But the family is haunted by the absence of Joćo, Gebo's son and Sofia's husband. Rumors are circulating of robberies and even darker dealings in neighboring ports. Is Joćo responsible? One night, he arrives home and all is brought to light.
