Once he wanted to be a soldier and today he is a rural doctor and a hard-working farmer. He is also a lonely guardian of the memory of this land’s Jewish inhabitants whose only reminder is an overgrown cemetery. Next to the protagonist, there is his little son who is killing time during summer holidays. Who will little Gosza become in the future? Will he stay in the village which is gradually becoming depopulated and losing ties to its past? The only thing that will remain in place is a bucolic landscape over the Neman River, preserving the traces of the deceased.
