Based on a real story that took place in Shkodër, a German captain who returns to Albania and is given his clock back from a local watchmaker (sahatçi) after 30 years. The film takes place in modern days, where an Austrian boy (Anton) goes after an Albanian student (Teuta) to Albania after being refused by her to spend the holidays together. The boy is supported by his grandfather, who gives him an envelope to read only after arriving in Albania.

"Restless Solitude" is the story of young people who begin to perceive themselves in the context of their surroundings, though they cannot find an acceptable world within our civilized society. Instead of being accepted by a community, they see themselves as trapped in their adolescent dreams, because a world oriented exclusively towards material values cannot offer them an ideal place to live. Either one's spirit is broken when the individual is integrated into society, or the individual breaks with society. In both cases, the young adult is susceptible to seduction in a number of possible ways, eventually becoming a victim rather than a member of society.
