The story follows a boy named Mikaele, an ordinary teenager living in Italy. After his Ukrainian mother suddenly passes away, he must fulfill her last wish — to take her ashes to her ancestral village in the Carpathians, where his grandfather lives. This leads to a generational battle that both the boy and his grandfather must go through — and come to terms with. The film is filled with Carpathian color, blending humor with emotional depth.

The lead roles in the comedy, directed by Zaza Buadze, are played by Simone Costa and Bogdan Benyuk. Other cast members include Irina Benyuk, Mauro Cipriani, Oleksa Hordiienko, and Lorenzo Giordano.
