In a home proudly named Silverville, where natural death is a frequent, if unwelcome, guest, one morning one of the residents is found seriously injured. The director, who sweeps inconveniences and shortcuts in the functioning of the private facility under the carpet, does the same this time and conceals the incident from the police. However, the investigation starts unofficially and covertly: it is taken up by a former judge who is eager to track down the perpetrator on his own. The three story lines bring a succession of surprising revelations, playing out a range of human destinies, relationships, desires, passions, all concentrated in a single place, and the actual tracking down of the perpetrator is only the final brushstroke in the painting of human existence in its last phase, which awaits each of us.

Today‘s eastern Slovakia. The historian Rimko returns here after many years with his young lover to search for answers to the difficult questions of his own life attitudes, mistakes and moral debts in the land of his childhood. His life seems to be balanced even in the hectic times of political changes of recent years. Having worked for twenty years as an expert on the Middle Ages, he feels himself to be a decent man, moderately successful in his profession, and ultimately attractive in his maturity and discretion to his much younger partner. And yet he is eager to prove to himself and his former friends that it is possible to catch up and pay off old debts. Even the seemingly idyllic setting for a beautiful holiday is marred by the brutality of the times - a military defector with stolen ammunition desperately seeks refuge.
